The North Carolina franchise is only the fifth team in NHL history to win its first eight playoff games. But the eighth success hung by a thread on Saturday. The decision was only made in overtime. Jackson Blake scored the winning goal to make it 3:2.
The Colorado Avalanche, on the other hand, are no longer unbeaten in the Western Conference. The team from Denver, which had taken a 2-0 lead in the quarter-final series after a sweep against the Los Angeles Kings in the first round and two wins against Minnesota at the start, lost Game 3 on Saturday away to the Wild by a clear 1:5. Kirill Kaprissow in particular shone for Minnesota with a goal and two assists.
