In a crucial elimination game, the Hurricanes managed to stave off defeat in Game 4, pushing the series to at least one more contest. Carolina’s 3-0 victory was a relief after the Panthers dominated the first three games with a combined score of 16-4.

The game’s outcome was closer than the score suggests, with the Panthers remaining competitive until the final moments of the third period. Sebastian Aho scored his second goal of the series on Carolina’s first power-play opportunity, sealing the game and making a comeback increasingly unlikely for Florida.

Following a series of offensive outbursts, the Panthers need to find a way to regain momentum. Frederik Andersen was exceptional in Game 4, stopping 20 shots and maintaining a clean sheet. To keep their playoff hopes alive, the Hurricanes’ goaltender will need to replicate that level of performance tonight.

This matchup promises to be a thrilling chapter in the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. Make sure to tune in and experience the excitement live.
