The Carolina Hurricanes are one step away from advancing to the next round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs as they head into a pivotal Game 5 against the New Jersey Devils. After dominating Game 4 with a commanding 5-2 victory, the Hurricanes now lead the series 3-1 and have a golden opportunity to close it out at PNC Arena on Tuesday night.
Carolina has been relentless throughout the series, combining a deep, balanced offensive attack with sturdy defensive play and strong goaltending from Pyotr Kochetkov. Meanwhile, the Devils are trying to keep their season alive but face a tough road ahead, especially with star forward Jack Hughes sidelined for the remainder of the playoffs.
The Hurricanes come into Game 5 heavily favored (-270 moneyline) and will look to feed off their home crowd’s energy to seal the series. On the other side, New Jersey needs a near-perfect performance to extend the series to a Game 6. They are hoping for standout efforts from players like Jesper Bratt and Timo Meier.
Puck drops at 7:30 p.m. ET on TNT in what promises to be a fast-paced, high-stakes matchup. With physicality ramping up and desperation setting in, expect an intense battle from the opening faceoff.
