The Carolina Hurricanes have another chance to narrow the Florida Panthers’ series lead after a nail-biting Game 4. A 3-0 shutout victory in Game 3, where they trailed 2-0 with 12 minutes left, has given them newfound momentum.
The series is currently 3-1 in favor of the Panthers, who could meet the Edmonton Oilers in the Stanley Cup Finals if they win. The Hurricanes must regroup and secure a win to stay alive in the Eastern Conference Final.
Game 5 tips off at 8 p.m. ET, with fans able to stream the game for free using live TV streaming services like DIRECTV (now offering a five-day free trial) or subscription-based platforms such as HBO Max ($9.99/month with ads).
