After dropping Game 1, the Carolina Hurricanes have won three straight against Montreal, taking a 3-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Final. They need just one more victory to reach their first Stanley Cup Final in 20 years. Frederik Andersen has been stellar between the pipes with three shutouts, including a 4-0 blanking in Game 4 where he stopped all 18 shots faced.

Sebastian Aho, Jordan Staal and Logan Stankoven scored in a 2:47 span in Game 4, while Stankoven leads the team with eight playoff goals. Montreal captain Nick Suzuki has three assists in the series. The Hurricanes are massive favorites at -232 on the money line, with DraftKings listing them at -170 to extend their scoring streak in Game 5.

Carolina's defense has clamped down, allowing fewer than 19 shots in each of the last three games. K'Andre Miller has been contributing on offense with assists in each of the last two contests. The Canadiens face elimination as they try to force a sixth game, but the Hurricanes' road to their first Stanley Cup Final since 2006 is within reach.
