RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Carolina Hurricanes have reason to feel confident going into Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Second Round against the Washington Capitals at Lenovo Center on Monday (7 p.m. ET; MAX, truTV, TNT, SN, TVAS).

Bouncing back from a Game 2 loss in Washington, Carolina veteran goaltender Frederik Andersen made 21 saves as the host Hurricanes defeated the Washington Capitals 4-0 on Saturday night for a 2-1 lead in their Eastern Conference second-round series.

After the Capitals threw everything they had at the Hurricanes in the first period, Washington was out of answers. It was the kind of game that can end a series, mentally if not mathematically.
