Hurricanes strike back

     The Carolina Hurricanes jumped to a 3-0 lead, held off a New Jersey Devils rally to trim the lead to one goal before Carolina scored two goals late in the third period to clinch Game Four 5-2.

Nico Hischier and Timo Meier each scored for New Jersey in the second period.

The Devils now trail the series three games to one and are one game away from elimination, going into game five Tuesday in Raleigh.

Hell Raisers

1) The play that received the most attention was when Timo Meier ran into Carolina goaltender Fredrik Anderson and sent him from the game in the second period.

The play was reviewed for a possible major penalty on Meier, but it was determined that Meier was not at fault

2) Carolina has neutralized the Devils power play as the Devils were denied on both of their chances in game four.

New Jersey has not scored in twelve power-play opportunities in the series.

3) Jacob Markstrom played well, but he made one major mistake when he misplayed the puck in the third period.

After the puck trickled out of a scrum, Brent Burns shot the puck home for a 4-2 Carolina lead.
