Carolina Hurricanes and New Jersey Devils head-to-head record
The Carolina Hurricanes seem to have a significant advantage over the New Jersey Devils going into Sunday's Game 5 based on their previous five head-to-head meetings. In their latest meeting, which took place on April 28, the Hurricanes prevailed in four of the previous five meetings, with a resounding 5-2 triumph in which Andrei Svechnikov earned a hat trick. The Devils have been held to two goals or fewer in each of Carolina's four victories, due to the team's constant defense.
