Key Contributors Toward Carolina Hurricanes Stanley Cup Odds
- ⭐️As the team's top scorer, 27-year-old Swede Sebastian Aho is the team's top player. He is among the NHL's elite players as a point producer.
- ⭐️Jaccob Slavin - He's entering his 10th season as a Hurricanes defender and still has plenty of runway in his career despite turning 30 in May.
- ⭐️Frederik Andersen - The Hurricanes are hoping the 34-year-old Andersen can finally stay healthy for a full season and give the team needed stability in goal to win the Stanley Cup for the first time since 2006. He has dealt with more injuries this season, but is finally back and ready to lead the Canes back for another run.
Carolina Hurricanes Stanley Cup Outlook
Carolina has exploded onto the scene. After being outside of the Top 7 in terms of Stanley Cup Final odds, the Hurricanes now have the shortest odds of claiming the greatest trophy in sports. While the odds always fluctuate, this spike for the Hurricanes represents a significant shift, as the Canes currently hold a 2-1 lead in their First Round Best-of-7 Series with the New Jersey Devils.
Hurricanes Strengths & Weaknesses
📈 Strengths
- Young forwards - Carolina has several young, fast, and proven young scorers, led by 27-year-old Sebastian Aho. He leads a strong forward group that is capable of winning the Stanley Cup. Newly signed Seth Jarvis is the team's other top scorer, and he's only 22 and starting a new, eight-year contract extension.
- Goalie - Frederik Andersen, despite being age 34, is one of the NHL's best netminders when he is healthy, which hasn't always been the case in his career. The Hurricanes also have a strong alternate in Pyotr Kochetkov, who has played well this season, going 27-16-3 with a 2.60 goals-against average and a save percentage of .898.
- Top Penalty Kill- The Hurricanes have done a great job in shutting down penalties, ranking first on the penalty kill. Their ability to defend the crease during penalty kills has helped them thrive this season.
📉 Weaknesses
- Aging defense - Brent Burns remains a good NHL defenseman, but at 40, his best days are behind him. Another top defender, Brady Skjei, is 30. The Metro Division is getting younger and faster, and the worry here is that the Carolina defense can't keep up. While the defense remains strong, they fell from one of the top defenses to ninth last season.
- Loss of Guentzel - The Hurricanes lost top forward Jake Guentzel as a free agent to the division rival Tampa Bay Lightning. No matter how you slice it, it was a significant loss for the Hurricanes, who traded a lot for him to Pittsburgh at the last NHL trade deadline. Carolina tried hard to keep him, but he spurned the Hurricanes at the last minute for Tampa Bay. Guentzel is doing well in Tampa Bay.
- Power play - Carolina was second in the NHL last regular season in power-play percentage (26.9), behind the Tampa Bay Lightning (28.6) last season. But that has not been the case this season, as they are 24th on the power play. Their ability to convert on the power play must improve if they wish to have a chance of making a deep Stanley Cup Playoffs run.
