Carolina Hurricanes at Montreal Canadiens | Game H… Carolina Hurricanes
The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Montreal Canadiens 4:0 on the road in Game 4 of the NHL Eastern Conference Final. They now lead the series 3:1 and could end the Canadiens' season on the night of Friday to Saturday. teraz.sk ↗

The visitors laid the foundation for their success at the Bell Centre already in the opening period. Montreal was rocked by a stretch of less than three minutes, between the 15th and 17th minutes, during which Carolina pulled ahead by three goals. The first goal was scored by Sebastian Aho, assisted by Nikolaj Ehlers and Shayne Gostisbehere. The Canadiens failed to make an offensive impact at home, and even the change moving Juraj Slafkovský to a different line failed to bring a turnaround. sme.sk ↗

According to available information, Slafkovský had a difficult task in the game against a well-organized opponent. Montreal was unable to assert itself offensively, and after the home defeat, the team now has its back against the wall in the series. Carolina is now just one win away from advancing to the Stanley Cup Final against Vegas. hnonline.sk ↗

Another notable figure of the evening was former Slovak goaltender Jaroslav Halák. Before the game, he carried the torch at the Bell Centre, and the crowd rewarded him with a standing ovation. Halák remains in the memory of Montreal fans especially for his performances in the 2010 playoffs, when he led the Canadiens, the conference's eighth-seeded team, all the way to the conference final. The next game will decide whether Montreal extends the series or Carolina confirms its advancement. teraz.sk ↗
