<p>The Canes took Game 4 from the Devils, 5-2, as Andrei Svechnikov registered his second career playoff hat trick. The win puts Carolina on the brink of the second round of the playoffs for the 5th consecutive season as they can close out New Jersey Tuesday night in Raleigh. Freddie Andersen started for the 4th straight playoff game and was sailing along with a 3-1 lead until Timo Meier crashed into him in the crease early in the 2nd period. Andersen was forced to leave the game as Pyotr Kochetkov came on for the first time in the series. He quickly gave up a goal to Meier but shut the door the rest of the way. Svechnikov scored 52 seconds into the game, then knocked in a power play goal in the first minute of the 2nd period and campped the scoring with an empty net goal with just under 4 minutes to play. Sebastian Aho and Jackson Blake each had 2 assists. </p>
