In a key Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals, Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky showcased exceptional skill, stopping 25 shots, but it wasn't enough. Carolina's Frederik Andersen returned strong with a perfect performance, halting all 20 shots faced, leading the Hurricanes to a 3-0 victory. A crucial goal came during a power play following a turnover by Panthers defenseman Seth Jones. Despite Bobrovsky's stellar play, his teammates struggled, leaving the Panthers to reflect on missed opportunities as they face potential elimination in the playoffs.
Andersen - back in the lineup after a one-game performance-based benching - stopped all 20 shots he faced Monday to lift Carolina past Florida 3-0 and extend the Hurricanes' season for at least two more days.
Bobrovsky was flawless. He stopped all 25 other shots he faced Monday to allow two or fewer goals for the eighth straight game.
It was huge. He gave us a chance to hold the whole way and that's all you can ask for... To still have a chance right to the very end is huge.
Most nights Bobrovsky's outing would have been more than good enough for a Panthers victory. But his teammates failed him Monday.
