Hurricanes Eliminate Canadiens in Game 5 to Reach Stanley Cup Final · May 29, 2026
Carolina sent Raleigh into a frenzy, dismantling Montreal 6-1 in Game 5 to advance to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2006. Hall and Stankoven — the most dangerous line in this postseason — struck in the first period to set the tone, and the Hurricanes kept coming, piling up five straight before a Caufield power-play goal broke the sequence in the third. Seth Jarvis added an empty-netter. Frederik Andersen finished 12-1 in the playoffs, with the Hurricanes outscoring opponents 10 straight before Montreal finally got on the board. Carolina will face Vegas for the Cup.
