Hurricanes beat Capitals 5-2 to tie the 3-1 series – Hockey Writer – NHL News
On Monday night (May 12), the Carolina Hurricanes hope to lead 3-1 in Game 4 after defeating the Washington Capitals 4-0 on May 10. The capital is trying to avoid lowering in huge profits and put all the pressure on them as the series enters Game 5 of Washington, D.C., but that's what they have to deal with, as the Hurricanes won 5-2 in Game 4 Monday night, so the Hurricanes are now 3-1 tied.
Game review
No goals were seen in the first three games in the first stage. However, it's thanks to Shayne Gostisbehere's third playoff goal, which gave the Hurricanes a 1-0 lead. The first seven minutes of this period saw a quick back and forth between the sides, and the capital beat the Hurricane little by little by little. Despite a slightly slow start, Frederik Andersen stood high for the Hurricane and as the period progressed, the offense began. The Carolina penalty kickers are again doing well as they start the second phase with just 24 seconds left in Jordan Martinook’s double hour. Gostisbehere's goal is the fifth consecutive time in the Hurricanes, returning to Game 3. After the first 20 minutes, the Hurricanes beat the Capital 13-8 and led 1-0.

The Hurricane killed a strong penalty from the first stage, and the Hurricane killed the rest of the double stages from the first stage. After approaching the scoring in Game 3, Seth Jarvis was able to take advantage of the rebounds after Logan Thompson filmed Sebastian Aho. His third playoff put the Hurricanes 2-0 lead in just one minute after killing the fine.
Frustration began to emerge in the capital as they tried to lure the Hurricane players after the whistle. However, this is usually impossible, as Carolina rarely falls into extracurricular activities. Two periods later, the Hurricanes led by a 25-15 goal (12-7 in the second phase).
The third stage is a scoring parade after five scores in the last 20 minutes. Jakob Chyrchrun scored his first Capital goal in five periods, with Alexander Ovechkin finishing first in the series with a 5-on-3 advantage. However, the Hurricane won three of its own games during this period to secure a victory.

Taylor Hall stood out for him after Chychrun's goal, defeating his second goal in a great pass from Jack Roslovic. This goal once again puts the Hurricane ahead. Sean Walker scored his first professional playoff goal after Ovechkin's goal, giving them a 4-2 lead late in the third phase. This isn't the last one, as Andrei Svechnikov scored his seventh goal in the playoffs to beat the game 5-2 as the Hurricanes took a 3-1 lead.
