The Carolina Hurricanes [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/carolina-hurricanes]must pull off a victory in Game 4 against the Florida Panthers, or their post-season run is over. The Hurricanes have lost each of their first three games of the Eastern Conference Final and will look to bounce back with a strong performance in Game 4 from here. If the Hurricanes hope to emerge victorious in Game 4, they will certainly need these three key players to shine for them. SEBASTIAN AHO The Hurricanes need to get their offense back going in Game 4, and Sebastian Aho is exactly the player who can help them do just that. The 27-year-old center is the club's top forward and is a real difference-maker when he is on his game. Aho has appeared in 13 post-season games this spring for the Hurricanes, where he has four goals, 12 points, and a plus-1 rating. Overall, he has had a good playoff run, but the Hurricanes need him to show up in this crucial Game 4. FREDERIK ANDERSEN Frederik Andersen will be back between the pipes for the Hurricanes in Game 4 after not starting Game 3. His goal will be to rebound after back-to-back shaky starts in Games 1 and 2, which included him being pulled in Game 2. Before this series against the Panthers, Andersen was red-hot and helped lead the Hurricanes past both the New Jersey Devils and the Washington Capitals. If he returns to his strong form, it would help the Hurricanes' chances of getting a victory in Game 4. ANDREI SVECHNIKOV Andrei Svechnikov has gone cold this series against the Panthers. After recording an assist in Game 1, the 25-year-old has zero points and a minus-4 rating in his last two contests against Florida. The 2018 second-overall pick will now look to heat up in this must-win Game 4 for Carolina. Svechnikov has been a major part of the Hurricanes' offense this post-season, as he leads the team with eight goals and has 10 points in 13 games.
