OTTAWA, CANADA - APRIL 23: Jackson Blake #53 of the Carolina Hurricanes scores a goal against Linus Ullmark #35 of the Ottawa Senators during the second period in Game Three of the First Round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs at Canadian Tire Centre on April 23, 2026 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

In the week since, the Hurricanes have earned three consecutive tight wins over the Senators, taking a 3-0 series lead and giving themselves the opportunity to advance to the second round with another win in Kanata today. The Game 3 victory came as a result of goals off of nice passing plays from Logan Stankoven and Jackson Blake while Frederik Andersen largely shut the door against on Ottawa team that, frankly, looked nowhere near as dangerous offensively as they did in their two defeats in Raleigh. When speaking with the media on Friday, Sens head coach Travis Green confirmed that his team would be today. will remain out after injuring himself in Game 1 when he hit , and is out with a concussion after he was on the receiving end of a hit from that garnered a two-minute minor penalty for illegal contact to the head, but no supplemental discipline from the league. That will mean an even heavier load for Ottawa’s stellar second pairing of and Jordan Spence, while we could see promising young defenseman make his playoff debut for Ottawa today. On the Carolina side of things, it’s tough to see any lineup changes aside from possibly a switch in goal. It’s been less than 48 hours since Andersen’s last start, and with a 3-0 lead, it could be the time to get a look Andersen has been so good, though, and a win would mean so much for rest, that it would make complete sense for him to get the nod once again. Brind’Amour told *The Athletic*’s Cory Lavalette Friday that the team has not yet decided who will be in net for Saturday’s game. If Carolina is going to close out this series today, it would be great for it to occur in a fashion that features contributions from the top line of , and Seth Jarvis, who have combined for just one point as the second line of Hall, Stankoven and Blake has carried the offense. Stankoven has scored the first goal in each of the three games to this point. Here’s how to check out the action… **Time:**3:00 PM **TV:** TBS and TruTV have the national broadcast.
