US EditionKnown for Their Shot Volume, Hurricanes Reach the East Final by Keeping the Capitals' to a Minimum
- On May 15, 2025, the Carolina Hurricanes secured a 3-1 victory over the Washington Capitals in the decisive fifth game, clinching the second-round series and moving forward to the Eastern Conference final.
- The win came after a closely fought match, highlighted by Andrei Svechnikov’s game-winning goal with 1:59 left, set up by a give-and-go with Sean Walker, while Frederik Andersen made 18 saves out of 19 shots faced.
- Jordan Staal netted his first playoff goal, and Seth Jarvis closed out the game by scoring into an empty net in the final half-minute, as the Hurricanes effectively limited high-quality opportunities from the top-seeded Capitals.
- The Capitals got off to a strong start and secured a first-round playoff victory, their first postseason series win since their 2018 Stanley Cup campaign, but ultimately struggled to break through Carolina's defense and respond to late goals, even after pulling goalie Logan Thompson for an extra attacker.
- Under Rod Brind'Amour, the Hurricanes have now won 10 of 15 potential elimination games and will next compete against either the Florida Panthers in a repeat of their 2023 Eastern Conference Final matchup or the Toronto Maple Leafs, recalling a postseason meeting from 2002.
