SERIES NOTES:
After Game 4: Completing the first four-game sweep in the NHL Semifinals since 2003 (when the Anaheim Mighty Ducks achieved the feat against the Minnesota Wild in MLB/NBA/NHL best-of-7 playoff series 886), the Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the host Carolina Hurricanes 4-goals-1 for a 4-games-nil series 1068 victory. With the series 1068 win, the Pittsburgh Penguins improve their best-of-7 NHL playoff series record to 24-16 overall and 4-3 in the Semifinals round. With the series 1068 loss, the Carolina Hurricanes see their best-of-7 NHL playoff series record fall to 9-4 overall and 2-1 in the Semifinals round. The series 1068 loss also ends the Carolina six-series winning streak. Series 1068 is the 23rd four-game sweep in the NHL Semifinals, the 103rd four-game sweep in the NHL (all rounds), and the 181st in the MLB/NBA/NHL (all rounds). The Pittsburgh Penguins (in series 220 against the Oakland Seals in the 1970 Quarterfinals) and the Dallas Stars (in series 658 against the St. Louis Blues in the 1994 Preliminary round) are the only two NHL teams to win their first-ever best-of-7 NHL playoff series by a four-game sweep; series 1068 is the sixth four-game sweep achieved by Pittsburgh and the first suffered by Carolina.
After Game 3: The Pittsburgh Penguins visited and defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 6-goals-2 to take a commanding 3-games-nil lead in MLB/NBA/NHL best-of-7 playoff series 1068. When leading a best-of-7 NHL playoff series 3-games-nil, the Pittsburgh Penguins have a 9-1 series record and a 5-5 Game 4 record. When trailing a best-of-7 NHL playoff series 3-games-nil, the Carolina Hurricanes have a 0-1 series record and a 1-0 Game 4 record. In the history of best-of-7 NHL playoff series from 1939 through the 2009 Quarterfinals, teams winning Games 1-2 at home and Game 3 on the road (i.e., Pittsburgh) have a 121-1 series record. The sole series loss is that by the Pittsburgh Penguins, in series 295 to the New York Islanders in the 1975 NHL Quarterfinals.
After Game 2: The Pittsburgh Penguins hosted and defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 7-goals-4 to take a 2-games-nil lead in MLB/NBA/NHL best-of-7 playoff series 1068. When leading a best-of-7 NHL playoff series 2-games-nil, the Pittsburgh Penguins have an 11-2 series record (with a five-series winning streak) and a 10-3 Game 3 record. When trailing a best-of-7 NHL playoff series 2-games-nil, the Carolina Hurricanes have a 1-1 series record and a 1-1 Game 3 record. In the history of best-of-7 NHL playoff series from 1939 through the 2009 Quarterfinals, teams that win Game 1 by one goal and Game 2 by three goals have a 20-6 series record with a four-series winning streak.
After Game 1: The Pittsburgh Penguins hosted and defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 3-goals-2 to take a 1-game-nil lead in MLB/NBA/NHL best-of-7 playoff series 1068. When leading a best-of-7 NHL playoff series 1-game-nil, the Pittsburgh Penguins have a 13-5 series record (with a five-series winning streak) and a 13-5 Game 2 record (with a seven-Game 2 winning streak). When trailing a best-of-7 NHL playoff series 1-game-nil, the Carolina Hurricanes have a 5-2 series record (with a five-series winning streak) and a 5-2 Game 2 record. In the history of best-of-7 NHL playoff series from 1939 through the 2009 Quarterfinals, teams that win Game 1 by a 3-goals-2 score have a 38-28 (.576) series record.
Pre-series assessment: In the 2008-09 regular season, Pittsburgh finished two points ahead of Carolina. From 1939 through the 2009 NHL Quarterfinals, when NHL teams led their best-of-7 playoff series opponents by two regular-season points, they have posted an 11-12 (.478) best-of-7 series record (with an active three-series losing streak) in those series against those opponents. MLB/NBA/NHL best-of-7 playoff series 1068 is the 13th best-of-7 playoff series for Carolina, and the 40th for Pittsburgh. In best-of-7 playoff series, Carolina has a 9-3 series record, a 2-0 Semifinals-round series record, and a 5-7 Game 1 record, while Pittsburgh has a 23-16 series record, a 3-3 Semifinals-round record, and an 18-21 Game 1 record. Series 1068 is the first best-of-7 NHL playoff series meeting between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
