Devils tried to dance in the storm — Hurricanes brought the thunder, the lightning, and the receipts
Game 4 in New Jersey started with hope, snacks, and some seriously optimistic Devils fans. It ended with the Hurricanes kicking over everyone’s lawn chairs and blasting five goals straight into the back of the net on April 27, 2025.
The Hurricanes showed up like they got the cheat codes. Andrei Svechnikov played like he was powered by Red Bull and rage, grabbing a beautiful goal that made Devils goalie Vítek Vaněček wonder if he accidentally signed up for the wrong career.
Meanwhile, Sebastian Aho skated around Devils defenders like they were NPCs in a video game — scoring, assisting, and basically setting up camp in New Jersey’s zone like it was prime real estate.
Jordan Martinook decided the third period was the perfect time to start a mini riot, pumping in a clutch goal that had Canes fans howling from their couches and Devils fans quietly Googling “emotional support pets.”
The Devils tried to push back with a couple of solid goals from Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt, but the Hurricanes’ defense tightened up like a locked bank vault. Every time New Jersey started to look dangerous, the Canes just picked up the puck, smiled politely, and skated away like, “No thanks, we’re good.”
Pyotr Kochetkov stood tall in net for Carolina, flashing saves and flexing that classic “no panic, all vibes” goalie energy. He even had time to casually look over his shoulder after saves, like, “Is that all you got?”
By the end of the night, it wasn’t just a win — it was a full-on flex. Hurricanes tie the series 2–2 and send a clear message: the storm is coming, and it’s personal now.
Game 5 is about to be absolute chaos, and honestly, we are here for it.
