Nor did either player care. (It was Svechnikov\u2019s, officially, for what it\u2019s worth.)<\/p>\n<p>The Canes\u2019 focus is on winning playoff games. If it takes overtime, so be it. Just win.<\/p>\n<p>The Hurricanes picked up their fifth overtime victory in this year\u2019s Stanley Cup playoffs and a second straight in the Eastern Conference Final against the Montreal Canadiens.<\/p>\n<p>The Bell Centre was rocking Monday night. Montreal legend Claude Lemieux carried out \u201cthe Torch\u201d before the game \u2014 the Habs\u2019 counter to the Canes sounding the siren \u2014 to further jack up the volume as Montreal fans welcomed home a team that won a Game 7 on the road to end the Buffalo Sabres series, then took a 6-2 win over the Canes in the opening game of the ECF in Raleigh.<\/p>\n<p>But overtime games don\u2019t faze the Hurricanes, forward Taylor Hall said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRoddy came in and said. \u2018We\u2019ve got \u2018em where we want \u2018em.\u2019 It\u2019s about stepping on the gas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That was Canes coach Rod Brind\u2019Amour. This is his eighth consecutive playoff team, and it now has won twice in the conference final \u2014 a first for the franchise since beating the Sabres in 2006 on their way to the Cup.<\/p>\n<p>All the Canes needed in overtime Monday was a hero. And a break or two. And another Montreal mistake.<\/p>\n<p>In the Game 2 overtime, a Canadiens turnover led to a rush down ice that ended with Nikolaj Ehlers scoring for the 3-2 win at the Lenovo Center.<\/p>\n<p>Monday, another Montreal turnover, this time by young defenseman Lane Hutson, led to a sequence that had Svechnikov shoot from the right circle. Aho was crowding the crease near goalie Jakub Dobes, who again had played well against a team that likes to stay on the attack and wing shots at the net.<\/p>\n<p>Svechnikov scored with 5:54 left in the overtime. Or did the puck hit Aho\u2019s stick? The goal was first given to Svechnikov, changed to Aho, then back to Svechnikov.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho was it, Aho?\u201d Brind\u2019Amour later said.<\/p>\n<p>No, Svechnikov. It also was the second of the playoff for the power forward, who plays with an edge and on the edge and has had his scoring chances in the playoffs and in Game 3, at even strength and on the power play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully it jumpstarts him getting on the scoresheet,\u201d Brind\u2019Amour said. \u201cI think he\u2019s played well. I think he\u2019s been a factor and just not scoring.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/durhammovinghub.com\/?p=1052\">\u2018Meter creep,\u2019 damaged hoses among issues found at Triangle gas stations<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re not going to advance if you don\u2019t get production out of your top guys, so it was great to see that tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why so good in overtime?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s the mentality of the team,\u201d Svechnikov said. \u201cWe love tight games, Every time, we love that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It has showed. The Canes had six overtime shots Monday and the Habs one. That came after a third period in which the Canadiens also had one shot. That\u2019s two shots in the last 34:06..<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s also misleading. Habs captain Nick Suzuki likely had a restless night Monday after taking a stretch pass from Hutson and missing on an open shot from the slot in the first minute of OT. Defenseman Mike Matheson had a shot find iron. Game 3 was that close to having a different narrative, an inch or two separating the Canadiens, not the Canes, from holding the 2-1 series lead.<\/p>\n<p>The Canes are 5-0 in overtime games but also 5-0 on the road and 10-1 overall. Their one loss has been much discussed the past week: the beating in Game 1 after an 11-day layoff between series. The Canes claimed that didn\u2019t cause the loss but surely was a factor in their sloppy, undisciplined play much of the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat game felt like a million miles an hour and now the game\u2019s starting to slow down,\u201d Hall said.<\/p>\n<p>Given their playoff record, Game 1 also can be considered an outlier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe watched the video and trashed it,\u201d Aho said. \u201cYou\u2019ve got to have a short memory in the playoffs. You don\u2019t want to have things starting lingering in your game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought we did a pretty good job in Game 2, and we were able to win that game. And another win tonight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe wins and losses are what matter, right. We\u2019re happy to win tonight and hopefully can do it again in a day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That would be Wednesday in Game 4 at the Bell Centre.<\/p>\n<p>The Canes won Monday by outshooting the Habs 38-13. They had a 43-21 cushion in scoring chances, They again were physical, bouncing people around at times. Goalie Frederik Andersen was not seeing a lot of shots but being ready when he did in earning his 10th win of the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>The Canes continued to pound away at the Habs\u2019 defensemen, checking hard, looking to goad them into mistakes. Hutson made the biggest in overtime, later saying he believed he cost his team the game in a show of maturity by the 22-year-old D-man, whose second-period power-play goal tied the score 2-2.<\/p>\n<p>The Canes now will try and put a chokehold on the Canadiens, just as they did the Ottawa Senators and Philadelphia Flyers.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/durhammovinghub.com\/?p=1050\">West Wilson Addresses Ciara Miller&#8217;s Reaction to Amanda Batula Romance<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A Svechnikov goal in overtime put them in that position.<\/p>\n<p>Or, was it Aho?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Carolina Hurricanes OT win over Montreal Canadiens in Eastern Conference Final Game 3, Canes improved overtime record to 5-0 in 2026 NHL playoffs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1053,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-read-todays-edition"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
