The Hurricanes lead the best-of-7 series 3-1. Game 5 is at Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Friday (8 p.m. ET; HBO MAX, tru TV, TNT, SN, TVAS, CBC).<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m definitely excited, for sure, having the success we\u2019re having,\u201d Hurricanes defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere<\/a> said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s hard not to look past it but we have to take care of business. It\u2019s a businesslike approach for us to finish this off if we can and the fourth one is the hardest, so just more of the same from us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Frederik Andersen<\/a> made 18 saves for his third shutout of these Stanley Cup Playoffs, and Sebastian Aho<\/a>, Jordan Staal<\/a> and Logan Stankoven<\/a> scored in a span of 2:47 in the first period for Carolina, the No. 1 seed in the Metropolitan Division and Eastern Conference. Nikolaj Ehlers<\/a> and Gostisbehere each had two assists.<\/p>\n \u201cIt feels great, obviously,\u201d Ehlers said. \u201cWe played really well tonight but we\u2019ve got to get one more and it\u2019s not going to come easy, you know, they\u2019re a great team. We\u2019ve still got a lot of work to do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hurricanes lead the best-of-7 series 3-1.
