Canadiens Shock Carolina… Then Everything Changed | ECF Rewind

The Montreal Canadiens struck first, but the Carolina Hurricanes had the final say.

From Juraj Slafkovsky’s Game 1 heroics to Frederik Andersen’s shutout in Game 4 and Carolina’s dominant series-clinching performance in Game 5, relive every key goal, save and turning point from the 2026 Eastern Conference Final. Carolina ultimately outshot Montreal 167-89 over the five-game series and earned its first trip to the Stanley Cup Final in two decades.

After dropping Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final, the Hurricanes responded with four consecutive victories to capture the Prince of Wales Trophy and advance to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2006. Along the way, Carolina won back-to-back overtime thrillers, received clutch performances from Nikolaj Ehlers and Andrei Svechnikov, and overwhelmed Montreal with relentless pressure throughout the series.

  2. Next year will be the Habs year if they have both Xhekaj brothers, Reinbacher who is a awesome Right defenseman, also Hage will be a great player to add to the team late season next year

  4. DAAAAAAAAAAAA HABS LOSE! If the Leafs were in the playoffs this year over the Habs, they would give the Hurricanes a run for their money. Habs don't deserve to have a good sesson going to the ECF over the Leafs

  5. That series was skewed from the start, one team with a 2-week vacation and the other with a 2-day vacation after their respective 2nd rounds. Then there were some questionable calls made and calls not made by the officials, which favoured the American team in the playoffs, as 'usual'. Game 5, 1st goal scored, goaltender interference, 'not called'. Again, favouring the American team.
