Brind'Amour and Bussi help Hurricanes win Stanley Cup
Summary

The Carolina Hurricanes secured the Stanley Cup with a 3-0 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 6 on Sunday. Taylor Hall scored early to give the Hurricanes a lead with former Western Michigan standout Brandon Bussi earning a shutout with 22 saves. Bussi took over as the starting goaltender midway through the playoffs, leading the team to three consecutive wins after a shaky start. This marks a significant achievement for Rod Brind'Amour, who became the seventh person to win the Stanley Cup as both a player and head coach. The victory concludes a challenging playoff journey for the Hurricanes, who had faced multiple Eastern Conference Finals losses in recent years.
