Hurricanes stand out in game 5 of Andrei Svechnikov

WASHINGTON – The Carolina hurricane survived the push from an opponent initially facing an elimination, thanks to Jordan Staal. Riding on waves of pressure exerted by the Washington capital, they scored very late to finish the series.

Andrei Svechnikov made his second trip to the Eastern Conference final Thursday night with 1:59 left in Game 5 on Thursday night.

“We've been in the playoffs all the time in that kind of game, and they believe in our game, and I think that's the biggest thing,” Starr said, with his goal being his first playoffs. “When you believe in what you are going to do, it will work, it will become more calm and consistent, and ultimately, if we keep doing what we are going to, we will win the game, and it seems these guys have done it.”

The Hurricanes improved to 10-5 in potential close games, with coach Rod Brind'Amour on seven playoff trips. According to ESPN Research, it is also the 10th playoff series the team has won since 2019 at Brind'Amour, second only to the Tampa Bay Chargers' 11 series titles during this period.

Carolina will face Florida in the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals or Toronto rematch.

“We've been in the conference finals and we know what's going to happen there,” Svechnikov said. “It's not easy there, we're going to see who we're going to play with, but now is the time to relax a little and prepare for the next game.”

As Frederik Andersen stopped 18 of the 19 photos he faced, including several games from Alex Ovechkin, and Pierre-Luc Dubois in the third stage tied their scores, they were able to play more games. Then, after giving and acting with Sean Walker, Svechnikov's shot was bad from Logan Thompson's point of view, giving Carolina the lead.

Seth Jarvis sealed it with an empty network, leaving 26.1 seconds left.

ESPN Research According to ESPN Research, with the defeat of Ovechkin and the Capital, the Hurricanes became the first team to beat NHL history scores since the Flyers in 1997, which removed Wayne Gretzky and the New York Rangers in the conference finals.

While Beauvillier's goal was a helpless goal, the Capitals season was over, and while the two goals he allowed weren't pretty, there were some important savings from Thompson.

“Thanks to Freddy Andersen: I think he's a better goalkeeper for this series,” Thompson said. “I think I could have had a better life and would definitely save a few times in Raleigh and tonight.”

Washington started to be strong, with some high-quality scoring opportunities, but couldn’t extend the series with a strict defense.

“It’s tight there,” Coach Spencer Cabury said. “Love a lot of what we did tonight. It's just not enough.”
