In a bid to complete a series sweep over the New York Islanders, the Carolina Hurricanes will once again rely on the stellar goaltending of Frederik Andersen. The decision comes as no surprise considering Andersen's outstanding performance in the first three games of the series, where he only allowed a total of six goals.

Andersen's success between the pipes has been a key factor in the Hurricanes' dominance over the Islanders. With a remarkable .922 save percentage, he ranks second among all goaltenders who have played at least three games in the postseason. Only Igor Shesterkin of the New York Rangers boasts a slightly better .933 save percentage.

The Hurricanes' victory in Game 3 was not without its setbacks, as they suffered some injury-related setbacks. Jesper Fast, who sustained an upper-body injury, is not expected to rejoin the team for the remainder of the postseason. Likewise, defenseman Brett Pesce, who is dealing with a lower-body injury, is unlikely to make another appearance in this series, regardless of its duration.

Despite these challenges, the Hurricanes remain determined to secure the sweep and advance to the next round. Head Coach Rod Brind'Amour's confidence in Andersen has been evident, as the goaltender has consistently showcased his exceptional skills, providing a solid foundation for the team's success thus far.

As the crucial fourth game approaches, the Canes will be looking to ride the momentum and deliver a knockout blow to the Islanders. With Andersen's exceptional play in net, Carolina hopes to continue their defensive prowess while their offense capitalizes on scoring opportunities.

The matchup promises to be a thrilling encounter as the Hurricanes aim to write the final chapter in this series against the resilient Islanders. The stage is set, and hockey fans will be eagerly awaiting to see if the Canes can complete the sweep and move one step closer to their ultimate goal of lifting the Stanley Cup.
