Hurricanes take 3-0 lead

Frederik Andersen made twenty-one saves for the Hurricanes, who have dominated the series despite Ottawa's home-ice advantage.

The Senators' defense was hampered by a head injury to Jake Sanderson, which coach Travis Green called 'ridiculous' after it went unreviewed by officials.

Carolina's depth and consistent goaltending have proven to be the difference-maker in the first round.

Game 4 is scheduled for Saturday, where the Hurricanes will look to complete the sweep and advance to the second round.
