After narrowly avoiding being swept by the defending champions in Game 4, the Carolina Hurricanes have another chance to cut the Florida Panthers’ series lead in tonight’s Game 5.
After two blowout losses where the Panthers scored five goals in each, and an even more disappointing Game 3 loss where the Hurricanes blew a 2-0 lead in the third period to lose 6-2, they came back and shut the Panthers out in a 3-0 victory.
