Who are the players to watch next game, and what are the big questions facing the Hurricanes and Panthers ahead of Game 3 on Saturday? Under Rod Brind'Amour, they've become one of the teams that consistently generates the highest number of shots per game. They entered Game 2 averaging 33.2 shots per game, yet they hadn't even cracked double digits until there was 14 minutes remaining in the third period. The Panthers set a tone early with Gustav Forsling's goal just 1:17 into the game and never relented. This is Bennett's second career 3-plus point playoff game and second career multigoal playoff game.
