After taking the 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference Final, the Carolina Hurricanes will face the Montreal Canadiens again in the Bell Centre for Game 4 Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

The game is scheduled for 8:00 PM EDT.<\/p>\n

Monday, the Hurricanes didn\u2019t just have the Canadiens to contend with, but also chaos agents in the referees, who officiated the game with little rhyme or reason. Blatant missed calls were prevalent, while weak calls were made.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Carolina consistently sustained pressure throughout, outshooting their opponent 39-13. When overtime came, Andrei Svechnikov was the man to end the game with a nice shot through a screen after stealing a pass from Hutson.<\/p>\n

In the Crease<\/p>\n

Both Frederik Andersen and Jakub Dobes have done everything their team has asked them to in the previous games, and as such, there is nothing to suggest that they won\u2019t be the starting goaltenders for Game 4.<\/p>\n
