April promises to be an important month for the Carolina Hurricanes.

The NHL regular season concludes on April 16. Two days later, the chase for the Stanley Cup begins in earnest. Sixteen teams (eight each from the Eastern and Western Conferences) take to the ice in hopes of snatching hockey’s grandest team prize. From Round 1 of the postseason, right up into the Stanley Cup Final, all four rounds are best-of-seven.
