Carolina’s spectacular season saw them capture their first division title since 2005-06. None of that matters now, as the Hurricanes find themselves in the Stanley Cup playoffs, facing a foe they have not met before in the postseason in what should be a fantastic series between the two sides.
While the Predators got the better of the Hurricanes in the final two games of the regular season, Carolina dominated the season series.
