As Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs gets into full gear, perhaps no game in each series will be more important to determining the outcome than Game 3.
If the first two games were split, the lower seed enjoys a distinct advantage coming home - something Vancouver had, and lost, and something San Jose and Ottawa have entering tonight's games.
If a team - such as the Rangers - faces a 0-2 deficit heading home, Game 3 becomes the first of what may be many do-or-die scenarios. New York needed two overtimes, but it avoided a 3-0 hole with its 2-1 triumph over Buffalo.
