The Hurricanes are still on the hunt for another Stanley Cup. Rod Brind'Amour's crew is back in the Eastern Conference Final for the second time in three years.

The Sporting News takes a look at the last time the Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup and their complete playoff history. MORE: When was the last time the Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup? The last time a Hurricanes team hoisted the Stanley Cup was in 2006. Carolina faced off against Edmonton in that year's championship series. After the Hurricanes built a 3-1 series lead, the Oilers stormed back, winning Games 5 and 6 to force a winner-take-all Game 7. In the final game, Aaron Ward and Frantisek Kaberle gave the Canes a 2-0 lead, which the team carried into the final two minutes of the third. The Oilers cut the deficit in half with a goal from Fernando Pisani with 1:03 remaining in regulation, but Justin Williams iced the game with an empty-netter to give the Hurricanes a 3-1 win.
