Never mind M.T. Knett; the Hurricanes' true nemesis is literally any building other than PNC Arena. Can the Canes turn the tide at MSG tonight?
They’re 5-1 at MSG this season, with the only loss coming in triple overtime of Game 1 against the Penguins. If they win again tonight, they’ll tie the club record for consecutive home playoff wins. Breaking that streak will require the Canes to solve Igor Shesterkin – and it certainly wouldn’t hurt if Antti Raanta put together another lengthy shutout streak to go along with his 125+ minute run that ended in the first period of Game 3. If they can do it tonight, they’ll return to Raleigh on Thursday with a chance to close out the series.
The Carolina Hurricanes once again go for their first road win of the playoffs at the New York Rangers in Game 4 of their second-round NHL playoff series ...
Lorentz gets 2-5-10, Trouba just the 5 for fighting, and the Canes will be shorthanded. Devin Berg and Brad Kovachik are the linesmen. Best bet for the Canes to do at this point is reset after that first period and try to play their own game. Hurricanes on the board: Canes on the board. The rough stuff has surfaced: Jacob Trouba clobbers Max Domi, elbow to head, and Steven Lorentz responds by getting Trouba into a fight. In his best Mark Messier impression, fitting given the venue, Ian Cole insisted Tuesday morning that “We’re going to win this series,” before later qualifying that: “There are no guarantees.” Canes limp into the break: Rangers still getting the better of play here as the first period comes to an end. Great pass from Andrew Copp to set him up in the right circle. Also, Necas clangs the post on a shot Shesterkin never saw. Huge save to keep it 3-1, still a tough slog for Carolina but way more reasonable with the way its playing than 4-1. If the Clemson-North Carolina game at ACC baseball tournament game runs long on Bally Sports — and what are the odds of that? Necas DID have one golden chance on a one-timer, and misfired.

It was his third of the playoffs. Carolina’s Steven Lorentz skated into Trouba and the two dropped gloves with 8 1/2 minutes left in the first. In this one, Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba delivered a hard hit on Domi along the side boards as the Hurricanes forward was falling to the ice. It was his fifth of the playoffs. Mika Zibanejad also scored, Ryan Lindgren had two assists and Igor Shesterkin stopped 30 shots for the Rangers, who won their fifth straight at home in the postseason. Carolina got its first power play midway through the second period, but couldn’t convert.
The Hurricanes have been like two different playoff teams, depending on the location of the game. In Raleigh, they're 6-0 with a plus-15 goal differential, as ...
"I don't think it's on our mind that we haven't won in the postseason on the road. I think it's more the fact that we squandered some opportunities in the Boston series. You get one of those, you get confidence and all of a sudden you get all kinds of goals." Maybe as a forward group, we can do a little better to be in his eyes and get to loose pucks out there," Aho said. "To me, the start is what did it to us," Brind'Amour said. "We know we have a fifth game ahead of us at home.
After a testy ending to Game 3, New York coach Gerard Gallant said his team plays better when it's angry, and enforcer Ryan Reaves agrees.
"I don't want to say anything stupid here," he said, drawing a laugh. "I like to see our guys get a little pissed off once in a while," he said. "You don't want to be taking stupid penalties in a series that's this tight. I think we do well with that." "I'm sure [our] guys aren't going to shy away from finishing checks on those guys. "I think our team thrives on that. "I just think it's going to [happen] in the playoffs, when you play the same team over and over again," Reaves said. "He really said that?" "I wish I would have seen that. I wish I would have grabbed him first." Our guys know we have him there." We've got the guy that can handle all their guys if we want to."
The Carolina Hurricanes face off against the New York Rangers today for Game 4 of their NHL playoff series. Look for the offenses to be super aggressive ...
NY, AZ, CO, CT, IA, IL, IN, MI, NJ, PA, TN, VA, WV only. NY, AZ, CO, CT, IA, IL, IN, MI, NJ, PA, TN, VA, WV only. Must be 21+. AZ, CO, IA, IL, IN, LA, MI, NJ, NY, PA, TN, VA, WV, WY only. 21+. New customers only. Additionally, it’s hard to imagine that the goaltending in this series will continue to be this good for much longer. At this point, it’s buyer beware on the under in this series. 21+. New customers only. At the time of writing, the Over/Under for Game 4 is sitting at 5.5 with the under juiced to -135. That makes eight total goals for the series, including two empty-netters and an overtime winner. New customers only. That’s the beauty of having an all-world goaltender and a great power play. Through the first two games of the series, both Carolina and New York seemed OK with focusing on playing well-structured defense and keeping the game predictable.
Jacob Trouba unloaded a crushing blow that sent Madison Square Garden into a frenzy. The Rangers defeated the Hurricanes 4-1 to tie the series.
Zibanejad swooped in to clean it up and get the ever-important third goal. The Rangers' netminder was excellent once again. The Hurricanes continued to pressure and push for scoring chances, as is their reputation. Steven Lorentz charged him for a fight that further electrified MSG and earned him a 10-minute major. The Vatrano goal at the 13:31 mark set off a series of events that worked in the Rangers' favor. Was it merely a coincidence that Domi was at the center of the previous game's shenanigans?
For a third consecutive game the Carolina Hurricanes could only get one goal by Igor Shesterkin, falling 4-1.
We have to get to those tough areas if we're going to put the puck in the back of the net." The Canes fly back to Raleigh immediately post-game. We have to get grittier and get harder around the net. You have to keep getting the chances. "No. To be honest, I don't really pay attention to who is in net and think of how I can create more chances against them. Teravainen put home the feed, giving Aho his fifth assist and ninth point of the postseason.
The Carolina Hurricanes lost yet another game on the road as they lost 4-1 in Game 5 to the New York Rangers Tuesday night at MSG.
But we have to be grittier and harder around the net and get to those tough areas if we are going to find a way to beat them. I thought we started to do that in the second and third, but giving teams like that, with a goalie like that, a couple of goals to start is never a good recipe for success. There was a few looks tonight, but with good goalies, just more traffic and more shots and more second chances around the net. We obviously wanted to come here and wins some games. We want to win that hockey game and move on. But I think especially in the third period, on the second power play, we had some looks. No. To be honest, I really don’t pay attention when I’m preparing for the game on who’s in the net. I usually start one because they have a better faceoff guy on one than the other. You have to keep getting the chances. We gave up a power play goal on the second one, but the first one was zipping it around too and had it in our zone the whole time. I know our guy comes in after the hit and I think they’re trying to do their job on that. Have to be better for sure.
