The Washington Capitals faced a critical game against the Carolina Hurricanes in the Stanley Cup playoffs, trailing the series 2-1 after a shutout loss. Despite a good start in Game 4, they couldn't capitalize on early momentum, with their performance deteriorating under Carolina's pressure. The Capitals were plagued by turnovers and poor execution, which the Hurricanes exploited, resulting in a 5-2 defeat. Coach Spencer Carbery and forward Connor McMichael noted their strong beginnings but lamented their inability to sustain that performance, leaving them on the brink of elimination as the series stands at 3-1 against them.
"We're giving ourselves some opportunities, we're just not executing, making the play, whatever you want to call it, and making some mistakes, and they're capitalizing."
"I thought our first 10 minutes of the last two games have been really good, some of the best hockey we've been playing in this series. We just got to find a way to sustain that."
