In the 2025-26 NHL season, Carolina Hurricanes secured the Eastern Conference's top seed with 113 points and Metropolitan Division title, positioning them as favorites to reach the conference finals behind strong regular-season metrics, depth, and Rod Brind'Amour's system. Montreal Canadiens earned the Atlantic's third seed at 106 points and advanced past Tampa Bay before defeating Buffalo Sabres in a seven-game second-round series decided in overtime, showcasing resilience and timely scoring from players like Nick Suzuki. Carolina swept Philadelphia Flyers in the other semifinal, extending an early postseason win streak. Key variables included goaltending stability for both clubs, special-teams execution, and home-ice advantage in the best-of-seven format leading to the Prince of Wales Trophy matchup.
