The Washington Capitals and Carolina Hurricanes play Game 4 of their Eastern Conference semifinals in the Stanley Cup Playoffs Monday in Carolina.

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.

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.
