The Carolina Hurricanes season came to an end in PNC Arena Tuesday night, as Andrei Vasilevskiy shut out the Canes to send the Tampa Bay Lightning through to the final four with a 2-0 win.
For the Canes, the season ended without a goal, as Vasilevskiy stopped all 29 shots the Hurricanes put on his net. For Tampa Bay, Brayden Point scored on a second-period power play, while Ross Colton made it 2-0 midway through the third period.
Alex Nedeljkovic, back in net for the Canes after Petr Mrazek played games three and four, was phenomenal, stopping 23 of 25 shots faced and keeping Carolina in the game with a flurry of dazzling saves in the third period prior to the Colton goal.
