What our Post expert thinks about Lightning vs. Hurricanes
The early preseason emphasizes prospect showcasing before the final rosters begin to take shape, but for what it’s worth, per Moneypuck, the Hurricanes were the No. 1 overall team in expected goals and shot attempts at 5-on-5 play last season.
Rod Brind’Amour looks to climb back to the Eastern Conference Final, which he has failed to conquer several times as head coach. The last time the Canes made it to the Stanley Cup Final, he was the captain when they won in 2006.
The Lightning have experienced some regression, falling to the back-to-back champion Panthers in the first round last year in five games. The two-time Cup winning Bolts over the course of the last six seasons enter 2025-26 after being ranked the No. 12 and No. 13 team in expected goals and shot attempts at 5-on-5, respectively.
