Carolina Hurricanes Form

Carolina go into this matchup knowing that one more defeat will bring an end to their season.

The Hurricanes endured a nightmare start to the series as they lost back-to-back home games, falling 5-2 and 5-0 to Florida.

They now find themselves on the brink of elimination after a 6-2 defeat in their first road game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Carolina entered this series having been on a dominant run in the postseason, winning eight of their first 10 games.

The Hurricanes made a fast start as they beat New Jersey 4-1 and 3-1 to take control of that first-round series with the Devils.

They then bounced back from a 3-2 overtime loss on the road with a 5-2 victory in New Jersey, before clinching the series with a 5-4 overtime win at home.

Carolina gained an early advantage in the second round too, as they went out on the road to beat Washington 2-1 in overtime.

The Hurricanes lost 3-1 in second meeting, but responded by reeling off 4-0, 5-2, and 3-1 victories to wrap up the series in five games.

Florida Panthers Form

Florida enter this home game knowing that a victory will complete a series sweep of Carolina.

The Panthers made a dream start to the Eastern Conference Finals as they went out on the road and won back-to-back games in Carolina, 5-2 and 5-0.

They then opened up a three-game lead with a 6-2 success in their home opener, meaning one more win will send them to the Stanley Cup Finals.

Florida entered the conference finals on the back of a seven-game series with Toronto, and having gone 8-4 across the first two rounds of the postseason.

The Panthers made a dominant start as they went out on the road to win 6-2 and 2-0 at Tampa Bay.

They then responded to a 5-1 home loss with 4-2 and 6-3 wins to wrap up the series in five games.

Florida made a rough start to the second round as they lost back-to-back games in Toronto, 5-4 and 4-3, but they bounced back at home with 5-4 (OT) and 2-0 wins.

The Panthers then took the fifth game, 6-1 on the road, before bouncing back from a 2-0 home defeat with a series-clinching 6-1 win in Toronto.

Verdict

Florida are in complete control of this series after three straight convincing wins.

It is tough to see a way back for a Carolina team that simply has to win this matchup but has given up at least five goals in every game so far.
