Carolina Cruises to Cup Final with 6-1 Rout of Montreal

The Carolina Hurricanes routed the Montreal Canadiens 6-1 in Game 5 to win the Eastern Conference Final and advance to the Stanley Cup Final against Vegas. Carolina built a commanding lead with three first-period goals (Robinson, Stankoven, Hall), extended it to 5-0 by the middle of the second thanks to Gostisbehere and Blake, and sealed the win with an empty-netter from Seth Jarvis as Frederik Andersen steadied the Hurricanes in net. Montreal spoiled the shutout late with Cole Caufield’s power-play goal, but Carolina dominated the game and the series to reach the Cup Final for the first time since 2006.

Canadiens seize momentum, derail Sabres in Game 5

Buffalo opened with a 3-2 lead after the first period, but Montreal answered with five straight goals to pull away and win 6-3 in Game 5. The Sabres' struggles in the faceoff circle, particularly in the second period, allowed the Canadiens to control play, and Tage Thompson added a costly cross-check penalty. Luukkonen was pulled to start the third period in favor of Alex Lyon, and Buffalo heads to Game 6 with Lyon likely to start again as they try to extend the series.
