Both teams impress in triple overtime

ESPN's Brian Engblom on Detroit's 3-2 win in triple overtime over the Hurricanes in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals:

The Hurricanes definitely have to regroup. This is a tough blow for them energy-wise, momentum-wise and confidence-wise. Is it a critical loss? No. But the next step is and they know that. They are a very resilient team and a very underrated team and I expect them to come back strong in Game 4.

For the Red Wings, this was an important follow-up to their Game 2 win. They did a real good job, they showed a lot of energy, they pushed at the right times, they didn't back off. When the game was on the line, they kept pushing. I thought they were going to end it in regulation when they came back and tied it. I was impressed with Detroit on the road.

Former NHL defenseman Brian Engblom, who won three Stanley Cups with the Montreal Canadiens, is a hockey analyst for ESPN.
