About Game 3

The Canes were on the wrong side of the final score in the second-longest playoff game in franchise history, as they dropped a
5-4 decision to the Predators
in double overtime. Brett Pesce tied Game 3 with 3:21 left in regulation, but Matt Duchene netted the winning goal at the 14:54 mark of the second OT period.

"That's playoff hockey. It was a grind of a game. They're going to be tight," Jordan Staal said. "I thought the boys battled hard. We were on the wrong side of this one, but we're going to come back with an even better effort next game."
