Hurricanes Could Not Find the Back of the Net
The Hurricanes averaged 43.5 SOG per Game in the Conference Finals, compared to Panthers' 31.75, and were outscored by just 1 goal in each game. Bobrovsky was outstanding, and of all goalies who played more than 1 game in a round, Bobrosvky's ECF GAA of 1.12 was just 2nd in a goalie's round GAA (Jack Campbell's Round 2 GAA is 1st, 0.89).
