A late-night sprint down the ice late Friday night provided Simon Nemec redemption, offered a path back into the Eastern Conference quarterfinals for the New Jersey Devils -- and reminded the Carolina Hurricanes of the precarious nature of their position as favorites in the series.

The longest game in the history of the Prudential Center ended with some much needed life for the team that calls it home.

On Friday, April 25, the New Jersey Devils hosted the Carolina Hurricanes for Game 3 of their Round 1 playoff series. With the Hurricanes already up by two games, this was a big one for the Devils; they were counting on their hometown crowd to bring them the good vibes they needed.
