The Hurricane Machine

The Carolina Hurricanes have become the first team ever, since the NHL moved to a 7-game series format for every round, to start a playoff run 8-0 and sweep their first 2 rounds. They’re just the 5th team ever to start a playoff run 8-0. The last team to do it was the 1985 Oilers who hold the modern record for best playoff start (9-0) and single season playoff record (16-2).
