Hurricanes HC gets brutally honest after blowout loss to Devils

Entering Sunday with a relatively comfortable 2-0 series advantage, the Carolina Hurricanes were dragged back down to earth by the New Jersey Devils in Game 3 Sunday, falling in a blowout, 8-4. 

After the lopsided result, Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour got brutally honest about his team's performance. 

"We were horrible. That's putting it mild," Brind'Amour said via Dan Rosen of NHL.com. "We were no good. I don't know what else to tell you. I've never seen us play like that." 

On the night, 13 Devils finished with at least a goal or an assist in Game 3. Meanwhile, seven Devils finished with multiple points, a franchise record for a playoff game, per ESPN Stats and Info. 

While the Devils had several standouts on Sunday, center Jack Hughes led the way. Hughes was the only Devils player to score multiple goals, tallying twice while adding two helpers to finish with four points.
