The Devils suffered a momentum-crushing 6-1 loss to the Hurricanes in Game 4 of their second-round series Tuesday night at Prudential Center.
The Devils have risen to each challenge they have faced during these playoffs, but it never gets easier this time of year.
The Devils are now just one loss away from their Cinderella season coming to an end, while also tasked with winning three in a row — two on the road — in order to advance. Martin Necas scored twice, while Jordan Martinook posted his fourth-straight multi-point night with one goal and three assists for the Hurricanes.
The Hurricanes wore the Devils down with their signature heavy forecheck and strong transition game. The Devils simply looked overmatched in all three zones for a majority of the 60-minute contest.Goalie Vitek Vanecek, Tomas Tatar and Luke Hughes react as Hurricanes center Martin Necas celebrates a goal in the second period of the Devils’ Game 4 loss.That decision was first brought about when Ryan Graves was unavailable with an upper-body injury in Game 3.
