From Canes FB:
 

NEW YORK, NY. - By the end of the day Tuesday the Carolina Hurricanes will either be headed back to Raleigh one game away from advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals, or for the second time in recent weeks finding themselves in a refreshed best-of-three series, this time against the New York Rangers.

 

 

When: Tuesday, May 24, 7 p.m. EST

Watch: ESPN

Listen: 99.9 The Fan, Hurricanes.com/Listen, Hurricanes App

 

SERIES RECAPS:

  • Game One: Sebastian Aho ties the game with 2:23 to go in regulation; Ian Cole wins it just 3:12 into the extra frame for Carolina.
  • Game Two: Antti Raanta records a 21-save shutout as the Canes take a 2-0 win and series lead.
  • Game Three: Igor Shesterkin stops 43 out of 44 shots, backstopping New York to their first win in the series.

 

THE QUICK HITS:

More Offense In Store?: Albeit Sunday's 3-1 final doesn't quite show it, the contest featured a much elevated level of scoring chances for both sides. Carolina, who had 48 shots combined in Games 1 & 2, had 44 alone in the matinee at Madison Square Garden. New York also produced their most shots and chances in the effort, as the game veered a bit away from the shutdown defensive style that the games had on lock through the first two contests. Some of this was a result of New York's Gerard Gallant getting his top line away from Jordan Staal's group, some of it was because of the seven power play chances between the two sides. Will tonight be a replication of Game 3, or more of what we saw back at PNC Arena?

 

The Importance Of Special Teams: Speaking of the man advantage, it's role in New York's first victory of the series was evident early on Sunday, as they scored on their first power play attempt midway through the first period. Meanwhile, on the other side, Carolina had an 0-for-3 day, with a hybrid of chances going off the post and a lack of execution being cited as the biggest reasons why. Monday at practice Nino Niederreiter and Teuvo Teravainen swapped power play units for the Canes. Will that be the spark needed for Carolina to strike gold on special teams? Can the penalty kill keep the Rangers high-powered man advantage off the board?

 

He Is Human Though: Igor Shesterkin was the undoubted first star of Sunday's contest, turning away 43 of 44 tries from the opposition for New York. The only blemish on his performance was a routine looking backhand attempt by Niederreiter, one of which squeaked through his body and his glove hand. While sometimes goalies have their day and there's just no way to beat them, Carolina will go into tonight's contest knowing that Shesterkin may be a Hart & Vezina Trophy candidate, but he is beatable.

 

The Temperature Is Rising: After an incident between Max Domi and Ryan Lindgren, plus some words being exchanged between Gerard Gallant and Tony DeAngelo at the final horn Sunday, the Rangers expressed their displeasure with Carolina. Forward Ryan Reaves said Monday at team media availability that he intends to "do his thing, run some people and get in their face." Safe to say #75 in blue will be a player to keep an eye on tonight.

 

ESPN Broadcast: Sean McDonough, Ray Ferraro and Emily Kaplan will be the broadcast talent for tonight's ESPN telecast.

 

In Case You Missed It: Thursday's Game 5 at PNC Arena will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets can be found here.

 

 

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

What Are We Wearing?: The Canes will be wearing white tonight.

More Milestones: Sebastian Aho is one assist shy of passing Ron Francis for the most assists in franchise playoff history. He is also one point shy of passing Eric Staal for the most in franchise history.

I think Reaves needs to go watch game 2 from last series.  This ain't the Carolina of old. 

 

Is it 7PM yet?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
