Florida Takes 3-1 Series Lead Into Game 5 Against Carolina
- The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Florida Panthers 3-0 on Monday to avoid elimination in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference final in Raleigh, North Carolina.
- Florida, the reigning Stanley Cup champion, held a 3-1 series lead after sweeping Carolina in last year's Eastern final, making Carolina's climb to advance difficult.
- Carolina showed promise with strong performances from youngsters Logan Stankoven and Alexander Nikishin, while Florida managed injuries to key players including Sam Reinhart, who missed Game 4 but skated Tuesday.
- Since the start of the 2023 playoffs, Florida’s performance in games where they had the opportunity to close out a series stands at 9-8, prompting coach Paul Maurice to ask whether the Panthers are learning from these missed opportunities following Monday’s defeat.
- Monday’s result gave Carolina another home game on Wednesday night, though the Hurricanes face a challenging path to overcome Florida’s road dominance and series lead.
