Series wrap-up: Hurricanes still winless in Eastern finals since 2006

The Panthers and Hurricanes crossed swords again in Carolina for game two of the Eastern final series.

Two years ago, Florida won the first two games in Carolina, and this year, it looks like a copy-paste.

Paul Maurice’s team won again, this time by a score of 5-0, and now leads the series 2-0.

The Canes have been to the Eastern finals four times since 2006, and in that time they still have no wins and 14 losses.

Ouch.

Nothing was going right for the home team.

Seth Jarvis even left the game momentarily due to this blow.

The only good news for the Hurricanes in this game: Jarvis is back. https://t.co/BV4pSLcRVS

Fortunately, he came back into the game.

One star player who left and never came back was Sam Reinhart.

He was the victim of a hip thrust from Sebastian Aho.

Towards the end of the second period, Carolina had just seven shots on goal.

So the fans suggested their favourites take a shot at the net.

Nothing goes right for them as they return to Florida, trailing 0-2.

It looks a lot like 2023.

The next game in this series will be played tomorrow, 8pm.

Overtime

– What a series!
