The Carolina Hurricanes secured a crucial win against the Florida Panthers, shutting them out 3-0 in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Final. This victory prevented the Hurricanes from facing elimination in the series, showcasing a strong defensive performance.

Logan Stankoven scored the decisive first goal in the second period, marking his second straight game finding the net. Although a potential second goal by Mark Jankowski was disallowed due to an offside call, the Hurricanes extended their lead with empty-net goals from Sebastian Aho and Jordan Staal. Goaltender Frederik Andersen was stellar, stopping all 20 shots for his second shutout of the playoffs. This win also snapped a streak of 15 consecutive losses in Eastern Conference Final games for the franchise.
