Game 4 Recap: Second period goal spree not enough as Hurricanes fall to Lightning
The box score of Saturday’s Game 4 will say that the Tampa Bay Lightning led by a goal after the first period, by a goal after the second, and by two at the final whistle. Straightforward, right?
Not by a long shot.
Despite carrying the balance of play at even strength, the Carolina Hurricanes played too much of the game down a man and the Lightning made them pay, taking a 6-4 win in Game 4 that gave them a 3-1 lead in the series and results in the Hurricanes facing elimination on Tuesday night in Raleigh.
