Canadiens eliminated from NHL playoffs after 6-1 loss to Hurricanes
Carolina won the series 4-1 and will play in the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2006.
- On Friday, the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Montreal Canadiens 6-1 in Game 5, winning the series 4-1 and reaching the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2006.
- Coach Rod Brind Amour, who captained the 2006 championship team, led the Hurricanes to this stage after the franchise previously struggled with a 1-12 record in the Eastern Conference Final. Carolina regrouped from a Game 1 loss to win four straight.
- Taylor Hall, Logan Stankoven, and Eric Robinson scored during a dominant first period, while goalie Frederik Andersen maintained a shutout until the third. Cole Caufield scored Montreal's only goal on a power play.
- This elimination extends Canada's NHL championship drought to 33 years, as no Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup since 1993. The result guarantees a U.S.-based franchise will win for a 32nd consecutive season.
- The top-seeded Hurricanes now advance to face Vegas for the Stanley Cup, seeking their second title since the franchise relocated to North Carolina before the 1997-98 season.
