THE RUB
In Game 4 the Hurricanes emerged victorious, staving off elimination with a 4-3 win. With the series now at 3-1 in favor of the Rangers, both teams gear up for Game 5, set to take place in New York.
Carolina displayed early dominance in Game 4, capitalizing on a 3-1 lead after the first period. Goals from Evgeny Kuznetsov, Stefan Noesen, and Sebastian Aho provided the Hurricanes with a crucial advantage, setting the tone for the remainder of the game. Notably, former Ranger Brady Skjei sealed the win for Carolina with a power-play goal late in the third period.
Despite a valiant effort from the Rangers, including goals from Barclay Goodrow and Alexis Lafreniere, the team fell short in their bid to close out the series. Lafreniere’s tying goal early in the third period demonstrated New York’s resilience, but ultimately, Carolina’s defensive efforts held firm.
With the series now shifting back to New York, the Rangers aim to regroup and refocus as they look to secure the series-clinching victory on home ice. Despite the setback in Game 4, the Rangers maintain confidence in their ability to bounce back and close out the series.
Meanwhile, the Hurricanes enter Game 5 buoyed by their Game 4 success, seeking to build upon their momentum and extend the series further. With goaltender Frederik Andersen back between the pipes and the power play finally finding success, Carolina aims to continue their strong performance into the upcoming matchup.

THE RUB
In Game 3 the Dallas Stars showed defensive prowess, stifling the high-flying offense of the Avalanche to secure a 4-1 win. With this win, the Stars now hold a 2-1 series lead, poised to extend their advantage in Game 4 at Denver.
Dallas bounced back after their Game loss, with two straight wins to seize control of the series. Led by goaltender Jake Oettinger’s stellar performance, the Stars neutralized Colorado’s dynamic top line.
Historically, the Stars have excelled in playoff series against Colorado, particularly in games extending beyond five matchups. With a track record of success in longer series, Dallas aims to maintain their momentum and secure victory on home ice in Game 5.
Colorado’s inability to convert on the power play in Game 3 proved costly, highlighting the need for improvement in special teams performance. Despite generating scoring chances, the Avalanche were unable to capitalize, attributing their defeat to crucial errors and soild goaltending from Oettinger.

- Valeri Nichushkin: Scored at least 1 goal in 8 of the last 9 games.
- Jamie Benn: Recorded at least 1 assist in the last 4 games against the Avalanche.
- Devon Toews: Recorded an assist in 5 of the last 6 home playoff games.
