Carolina Hurricanes hand New York Rangers 1st playoff loss

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Brady Skjei scored on the power play with 3:11 left to help the Carolina Hurricanes defeat the New York Rangers 4-3 on Saturday night, staving off a sweep by winning Game 4 of the second-round playoff series.

Skjei's shot from the point came off a feed from Tuevo Teravainen, with the puck zipping past Igor Shesterkin to catch the post and bang into the net. That was Carolina's first goal with the man advantage in 17 tries in the series, and it finally pushed Carolina ahead for good on a night when the Hurricanes squandered a two-goal lead.
