Carolina Hurricanes
The Carolina Hurricanes have been dominant in the regular season but have struggled to make a deep playoff run in recent years. Despite this, the organization showed their commitment to Coach Rod Brind'Amour by signing him to a five-year contract extension. The team is currently amongst the top contenders to win the Stanley Cup, with odds tied for the shortest alongside the Panthers and Oilers. Carolina has started the season strong with a record of 10-3-0 and sits in second place in the Metropolitan Division. They recently had an eight-game winning streak snapped by the Colorado Avalanche in a 6-4 loss. The team had a strong offensive showing, with goals coming from Jack Drury, Jordan Martinook, and Martin Necas, but ultimately fell short. The Hurricanes have an impressive power ranking of 3, ranking 3rd in offense and defense, and have only lost 2 games this season.
