It was Carolina’s first playoff win beyond the second round since June 2006, the same year the Hurricanes won the franchise’s first, and so far only Stanley Cup. Now, they return home, where they lost the first two games of the series to Florida in convincing fashion, getting outscored 10-2.

Jaccob Slavin played 28 minutes in Game 4, the most in a regulation game all year, postseason or regular season. The Hurricanes’ ace defenseman may have to do it again tonight.
