Frederik Andersen stopped 16 shots for the Hurricanes, who have lost 11 straight Eastern Conference finals games and are on the verge of being swept for a third consecutive time in a conference final. The Panthers, who have reached the Stanley Cup Final once in franchise history , will look for the sweep when they play host to the Hurricanes for Game 4 on Wednesday.
Bobrovsky has been a brick wall all series, having stopped 132 of 135 shots through the three games. He showed his form early with a glove save on Stefan Noesen’s breakaway chance, made a sprawling blocker save on Sebastian Aho early in the second period and a clutch pad save on a Seth Jarvis redirection late in the middle period. For good measure, he stopped all 11 shots he faced in a one-sided third period while his team clung to the lead.
The Hurricanes had all the momentum through the first half of the second period, but Reinhart opened the scoring at 10:05 of the frame. With Florida on a power play, Reinhart set up in the slot and upon taking a short pass, spun and zipped a shot inside the far post for his seventh goal of the playoffs.The win came at a cost, however. Panthers captain Aleksander Barkov left the game for good midway through the first period after he was on the receiving end of a check from Jack Drury.
