    Round 2 Game 4 Recap – New York Islanders v. Carolina Hurricanes

    New York Islanders v. Carolina Hurricanes

    Game 4 – CAR Leads 3-0

     

    Game Recap:

    Heading into Game 4 the Carolina Hurricanes look to complete the sweep at home as they take on a desparate New York Islanders team trying to remain alive. The Islanders would get an early break as Andrei Svechnikov would take an early high sticking penalty that would lead to a Mathew Barzal powerplay goal for quick 1-0 lead two and a half minutes into the game. However, the Hurricanes would respond on a powerplay of their own as Sebastian Aho would jam it in past Robin Lehner to tie the game at one.

     

    Going into the second period it would be the Hurricanes unleashing a storm early on as Warren Foegele, Sebastian Aho, and Teuvo Teravainen would connect on a tic, tac, toe play as Teravainen scores his sixth of the playoffs. Then Greg McKegg knocks in a loose puck in the slot area to make it 3-1 for the Hurricanes and chase Robin Lehner out of the crease and put in Thomas Greiss for the Islanders. Then after killing a Brock McGinn penalty, Jordan Staal would throw the puck into the slot area and Justin Williams would bat it out of mid air and past Greiss to make it 4-1.

     

    Coming into the third period the Hurricanes would choke up this game and kill the clock, and then Andrei Svechnikov would score his third of the playoffs to give the Hurricanes a commanding 5-1 lead. Brock Nelson would score, but it would be too little, too late as the Hurricanes would go on to defeat the islanders 5-2 to sweep the 2nd round series 4 games to none.

    Carolina Hurricanes v. Washington Capitals

    Series Tied 3-3

     

    Game Recap:

    Heading into the dreaded Game 7, both the Washington Capitals and Carolina Hurricanes head into Capital One Arena looking to finish the series with win, and move on to face the idle New York Islanders. To start the game the Capitals would force the play in the Hurricanes which would see Andre Burakovsky forc2 Brett Pesce to cough up the puck and Burakovsky would skate into the slot and rip the puck past Petr Mrazek to make it 1-0 less than three minutes into the game. Then it would be a highly motivated Alex Ovechkin undressing Dougie Hamilton while entering the zone, and Ovechkin would then feed Tom Wilson who would one time it past Mrazek to make it 2-0.

     

    Going into the second period both teams looked to swing the momentum their way, and for a good portion of the period the Capitals would force the play, however, while on the lone powerplay the Capitals would cough it up and Sebastian Aho would get it past Braden Holtby to cut the lead to one. But the Capitals would get their two goal lead back as Evgeny Kuznetsov and Carl Hagelin would team up to give Kuznetsov his first goal of the playoffs, but that too would be short lived as Teuvo Teravainen would get the loose puck in the slot and rip it past Holtby to make it 3-2 Capitals going into the second intermission.

     

    Heading into the third period it would be the Hurricanes buildimg upom the momentum they gained in the second period as less than three minutes into the third frame Jordan Staal would streak down the wing and let go of a beautiful wrist shot past Holtby to tie the game at three. After a lot of back and forth in thebperiod, the game would remained tied after 60 minutes of play.

     

    In the first overtime period of the game it would be all Hurricanes as they dictated the pace of the period and held the Capitals without a shot through the first half of the overtime period. However, the Capitals would escape the first overtime period.

     

    Then in double overtime the Hurricanes would continue their dominant play against the Capitals, and after killing a delay of game penalty it would be Mr. Game 7 himself Justin Williams throwing it on net where Brock McGinn would tip it in past Holtby to win the game and the series 4-3.

    Washington Capitals v. Carolina Hurricanes

     

    Game Recap:

    In the first game in ten years in North Carolina, the Washington Capitals come to town looking to extend their series lead to three, but the Carolina Hurricanes have other things in mind as Warren Foegele would score the first goal of the game to give the Hurricanes their first lead of the series. Then tensions would boil over as Alexander Ovechkin and Andrei Svechnikov would get into a rare playoff fight that would see Ovechkin knock Svechnikov out of the game.

    Both teams would trade powerplay opportunities, but neither would be able to capitalize.

     

    Then in the second period, it would be the Hurricanes building on their lead as Foegele would score his second of the game. Then on the powerplay thanks to a Nicklas Backstrom penalty, Dougie Hamilton would score to make it 3-0 and continue to build the Hurricanes surge. The Hurricanes would also hold the Capitals to a franchise low one shot in the second period.

     

    In the third period the Hurricanes would continue their surge on the Capitals as they would abuse and frustrate the Capitals. After killing off two penalties, the Hurricanes would draw a penalty against Lars Eller which would then result in another Dougie Hamilton powerplay goal to make it 4-0. And to put the nail in the coffin, Brock McGinn would score the fifth and final goal to seal the victory for the Hurricanes as they cut the Capitals series lead in half to one.
