The Devils were third on the power play at a franchise-record 28.2% during the regular season, but went 0 for 2 in their 5-2 loss in Game 4 to the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday.

Despite the Devils spending more time in their offensive zone in the second half of the game, the Hurricanes’ hyper-skilled defense rarely bent. The Devils ran out of time, even before Martinook’s goal, and Svechnikov ended the game with an empty net goal with 3:17 left to also secure a hat-trick.

In the end, the lead the Devils spotted to the Carolina Hurricanes early in the game was an insurmountable deficit. The Devils’ comeback in Game 4 fell just short after chipping away at the Hurricanes’ 3-0 lead.
