Hurricanes lineup today: Carolina’s projected lineup for Game 5 against the Florida Panthers | Stanley Cup Playoffs, Conference Finals, May 28, 2025

Tonight, the Carolina Hurricanes will look to stave off elimination once more when they host the Florida Panthers in a pivotal Game 5. Carolina had previously been down 3-0 in this best-of-seven series, however, the team managed to come up big in Game 4 despite being on the road, shutting out the reigning Stanley Cup champs while forcing a Game 5 back at home.

Now, the team will look to once again create magic, extending the series and keeping its Stanley Cup hopes alive.

Of course, throughout NHL history, only four teams have been able to successfully pull off the ultra-rare 3-0 comeback. Most recently, the 2014 LA Kings managed to accomplish the feat, however, more than 200 other NHL teams over the years have failed to do so.
