With their 5-4 double overtime win over the New Jersey Devils on April 29, the Carolina Hurricanes have officially moved on to the second round. The Hurricanes are now set to face off against the Washington Capitals in the next round, which should be a great series between the two Metropolitan Division rivals.
With the Hurricanes advancing to the second round, Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind’Amour has made some NHL history. According to NHL insider Frank Seravalli, Brind’Amour became the first coach in the history of the league to win at least one playoff round in each of his first seven seasons as a bench boss.
This is certainly an impressive accomplishment for Brind’Amour, but his goal from here will be to lead the Hurricanes on a long playoff run. The Hurricanes have the talent to make a push for the Stanley Cup, and it will be interesting to see if they can get past the Capitals in the second round from here.
In 534 games as the Hurricanes’ bench boss over seven seasons, Brind’Amour has put together a 325-160-49 record. He also memorably won the Jack Adams Award as the NHL’s top coach during the 2020-21 season.
