The Carolina Hurricanes are Stanley Cup champions once again, defeating the Vegas Golden Knights 3-0 on Sunday to claim their second title in franchise history and their first in nearly two decades.
Taylor Hall, Jackson Blake, and Nikolaj Ehlers each found the back of the net for Carolina, while goaltender Brandon Bussi turned in a shutout performance to seal the victory. The Hurricanes closed out the NHL’s best-of-seven championship series on the road in six games.
Carolina’s last Stanley Cup title came back in 2006, making Sunday’s win a long-awaited return to the top of the hockey world.
