NEWARK, N.J. -- Johnathan Kovacevic is questionable to play for the New Jersey Devils in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference First Round at Prudential Center on Sunday (3:30 p.m. ET; FDSNSO, MAX, truTV, MSGSN, TBS, SN360, TVAS).

The Carolina Hurricanes traveled to Newark, New Jersey, to take on the New Jersey Devils for Game 3 of Round 1. The Hurricanes entered the game looking to take a 3-0 stranglehold on the series.

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.
