Carolina only leads 2-1 in its series, in the second round of the NHL play-offs. The Hurricanes lost on the ice of Madison Square Garden once morest the New York Rangers on Sunday night (3-1).
Led 2-0 following successes by Mika Zibanejad (12th) and Chris Kreider (26th), Carolina reduced the mark shortly before halfway through a goal from Grison Nino Niederreiter, his fourth in the playoffs, scored with the complicity of Rangers goalkeeper Igor Shesterkin (29th).
The Canes pushed to come back (44 shots on target to 33), in vain, Tyler Motte closing the case in the empty cage (59th). Act IV will take place on Tuesday evening, still in New York.
