Welcome back to the summit, Carolina.<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes took down the Vegas Golden Knights 3-0 in Game 6 Sunday night to win the Stanley Cup. <\/p>\n

It’s the second championship in Hurricanes history, ending a 20-year drought with the last triumph coming in 2005-26.<\/p>\n

After the first four games of the series featured the two sides exchanging wins, Carolina stamped its authority with a 4-2 victory in Game 5 to make it two straight wins — and one away from the title.<\/p>\n

But doing so in the Vegas atmosphere wouldn’t be easy. Now it’s been done.<\/p>\n

Just about four minutes into the opening period, Taylor Hall found himself open on the break for a 1v1 shot. He drilled it home.<\/p>\n

The second goal came with about six-and-a-half minutes to go in the second period. With the Golden Knights camped in their defensive box, Jackson Blake smacked it home with force. Logan Stankoven recorded the assist.<\/p>\n

Carolina held it down from there with Brandon Buss coming out with several important saves.<\/p>\n

In the closing minutes, Nikolaj Ehlers made it 3-0 off an empty net. He had some work to do to create the angle but made it happen.<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes now see their 20-year wait for the title come to a close. They topped the Metropolitan Division with a win-loss-overtime loss record of 53-22-7. The 113-point total trailed only the Colorado Avalanche’s 121, though Colorado could not optimize its tag as favorites.<\/p>\n

Carolina last won the Stanley Cup in 2005-06 after defeating the Edmonton Oilers 3-1 in Game 7. The franchise also made the final in 2001-02, its only other appearance, but lost 4-1 to the Detroit Red Wings despite taking the opening game on the road.<\/p>\n

The Golden Knights, which started play in 2017, made its third appearance in the final — still a remarkable feat despite two losses. Vegas first made it in its debut campaign before falling short to the Washington Capitals 4-1 — also after winning Game 1, but at home.<\/p>\n

Vegas then claimed its first championship in 2022-23 after a brilliant 9-3 Game 5 win against the Florida Panthers, right before their dominant stretch. <\/p>\n

Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind’Amour also put himself in the history books by winning a title with the franchise as both a player (captain, too) and head coach. He’s made the playoffs in each of his eight seasons leading the team, finally breaking through this year.<\/p>\n

He made the conference finals three times, including his debut head-coaching season.<\/p>\n

Only six other players have achieved the feat of winning a title as a player and a coach for the same team. The last example transpired in 1956 with Montreal Canadiens’ Toe Blake.<\/p>\n

Brind’Amour will be tasked with the tough ask to repeat as champions, though his resume indicates his side will likely be back in the mix.<\/p>\n

Carolina is the latest example of a major professional league team ending a championship drought this season. The New York Knicks just claimed the NBA title after 53 years, while Arsenal ended a 22-year Premier League title wait.<\/p>\n
