The Carolina Hurricanes have officially issued a warning to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
After having lost the first two games of their second round series on home ice, they're now in the defending champions back yard, and made good on their desire to extend the series by winning Game 3 in overtime. And now, they're aiming to return back to Raleigh tied up 2-2.
They absolutely stunned Tampa Bay by scoring twice in 39 seconds early in the 2nd period. First, it was defenseman Dougie Hamilton from the point:
