The Carolina Hurricane can reserve a spot in the second round of the NHL playoffs in a victory over the New Jersey Devils in Raleigh.
Hurricane vs Devils Game 5 Preview
The Hurricane is a current sportsbook favorite that won the Stanley Cup later this year, and looking after the New Jersey Devils isn’t an issue on the home floor of Game 5.
The Devils fought hard to steal Game 3 and returned to battle before Carolina brought them back to Earth with a glorious performance on Sunday in Newark.
Andrei Svechnikov bagged a hurricane hat trick. Second in his postseason career, goaltender Frederik Andersen was the brick wall in front of the net, stopping 20 of his 22 shots.
Right winger Svechnikov is the only player in franchise history to tally three goals in a single playoff game. He also completed the feat with the New York Rangers in the 2020 qualifying round game.
Andersen’s Hurricane goaltending duo (3-1 records, .936 save percentage) and Peterkochetkov (.933 save percentage) are on fire to start the playoffs.
Andersen was kicked out in the second term with an upper body injury, so if he can’t go on Tuesday, Kochetkov can stand effectively.
The Carolina special team played a major role in the victory, dismissing all three Devils power plays and scoring their own power play goals to find the back of the net.
This challenge should not be sweaty for a cane that boasts a strong record at home and seems to be set to fit this playoff for bigger and better.
