There's just one game today, with the Carolina Hurricanes hosting the New Jersey Devils. Akira Schmid and Frederik Andersen are set to start in goal. Carolina got going in the second period with a Jesperi Kotkaniemi power play goal, his second of the postseason, powered by Shayne Gostisbehere and Jack Drury. The Hurricanes added on with another Kotkaniemi goal, his second of the game and third of the playoffs, made possible by Jordan Martinook and Jesper Fast. Carolina extended the lead as Jordan Staal scored, thanks to Drury and Brett Pesce. The Hurricanes padded the lead on a Martin Necas goal, his second of the postseason, assisted by Gostisbehere and Jaccob Slavin. Vitek Vanecek replaced Schmid in the third period. New Jersey got on the board with a Miles Wood goal, helped along by Michael McLeod and Nathan Bastian. Carolina shot back with an unassisted Martinook goal. The Hurricanes continued with a Stefan Noesen goal, his third of the playoffs, with helpers from Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis. This stood for a 6-1 win, with the three stars given to Kotkaniemi, Martinook, and Drury, while Gostisbehere gets an honorable mention. The Hurricanes head on the road with a 2-0 series lead.
