The Carolina Hurricanes beat the Vegas Golden Knights 3-0 to capture the NHL's Stanley Cup on Sunday, ending a 20-year wait for their second crown.
Taylor Hall, Jackson Blake and Nikolaj Ehlers scored and goalie Brandon Bussi made 22 saves for Carolina, who completed a 4-2 series triumph in Las Vegas in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup Final, two decades after their 2006 victory.
With the end in sight in a series that saw multi-goal deficits erased in each of the first four games, the Hurricanes' suffocating defense gave the Golden Knights precious few opportunities.
Carolina seized the initiative as Hall scored at 3:47 of the first period, ripping a shot over the glove of Vegas goalie Carter Hart.
Carolina kept the pressure on and Hart had to make a diving save on a shot from Andrei Svechnikov after Hart was caught out of position behind the net late in a Hurricanes power play.
