The Devils face elimination tonight as they head back to Raleigh for Game 5 against the Hurricanes, trailing 3–1 in the first-round series. After a hard-fought win in Game 3, New Jersey struggled in Game 4, falling 5–2 at Prudential Center and putting themselves on the brink of elimination.

Frederik Andersen left the game after the Devils’ Timo Meier ran into him in the second period, but the Hurricanes survived and took a 3-1 series lead behind Andrei Svechnikov’s hat trick.
