The Carolina Hurricanes are Stanley Cup champions for the first time in 20 years, when goalie Cam Ward earned Conn Smythe honors and Rod Brind'Amour captained the team to immortality.
With Brind'Amour on the bench as head coach and another inexperienced goalie in net, the Hurricanes closed out the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 6 to put the franchise's past playoff disappointments out of mind.

Here's a look at which player earned the honor after Game 6.
