Florida Panthers injuriesCarolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers head-to-head record

The Carolina Hurricanes will attempt to survive Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals after defeating the Florida Panthers 3-0 on May 27 to end a three-game losing run. Following three games in which the Hurricanes were outscored 16-4, including a 5-0 setback on May 23 and a 6-2 setback on May 25. Carolina has demonstrated that they can defeat Florida when they perform organized, defensively sound hockey, as evidenced by their victory and their 3-1 victory against the Panthers earlier in the season on January 3. The Hurricanes have a good chance of forcing a Game 6 if they can duplicate their energy from Game 4 and capitalize on their advantage in faceoffs and power play effectiveness. However, Carolina is still under pressure to put on another nearly flawless performance because Florida is still leading their series 3-1 and has dominated their last several meetings.
