Thursday, April 25 saw the team win the game 3-2 on the back of another masterclass from netminder Frederik Andersen who saved 29 of 31 shots to get his third win of the series. A lot of the media attention is focusing on how well Andersen has been playing for the Hurricanes along with the contributions from Sebastian Aho, Seth Jarvis, Jordan Martinook, etc. It is rightfully so as all three guys have been big contributors to the teams’ success in the first three games of the opening round..

There’s been a plethora of news coming out of the Carolina Hurricanes camp over the past week. Between the Hurricanes defeating the New York Islanders in Round 1 of the 2024 NHL Playoffs to Frederik Andersen being named a finalist for the Bill Masterton Memorial Award, there has been a lot going on for the team. However, more news dropped on Thursday afternoon (May 2) when it was announced that Carolina will have an American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate next season after not having one for the 2023-24 season. What makes it more interesting, they reunite with a former team they were affiliated with before this season started who decided to go independent. Enter, the Chicago Wolves.
