The Carolina Hurricanes were trying to get out to a 3-0 series lead on Friday, but instead were thumped by a 5-1 score. Now the Islanders have a chance to even the series on home ice.

Game 4: Boston Bruins @ Florida Panthers

Boston leads 2-1

The Panthers scored two late goals to make their scoreline respectable, but the Bruins were in full control of Game 3, which is more like what was expected from the series from the start. With that performance under their belt, will we see the same quality from the team that set several regular-season records this year?

Game 4: Dallas Stars @ Minnesota Wild

MIN leads 2-1

Starting off with a double-overtime game, the last two meetings in this series haven’t been close with a convincing win for each side. Minnesota is the team that can say it hasn’t yet lost at home, and if they keep that going, they will have the Central Division’s second seed on the ropes.

Game 4: Edmonton Oilers @ Los Angeles Kings

LAK leads 2-1

The Oilers had control of the game and the shots in Game 3, but they just couldn’t turn that into enough goals to win, and are now down 2-1 in the series. They need a more productive effort, perhaps from more power-play opportunities, in Game 4.
