2006–07 Carolina Hurricanes season

National Hockey League team season March 2026 August 2023 NHL 2006–07 2006 Carolina Hurricanes Eastern 11th Southeast 3rd 40–34–8 21–16–4 19–18–4 241 253 Jim Rutherford Peter Laviolette Rod Brind'Amour Kevyn Adams (Oct.–Jan.)Cory StillmanGlen WesleyRay Whitney (Jan.–Apr.) RBC Center Albany River RatsFlorida Everblades Justin Williams (33) Rod Brind'Amour (56) Ray Whitney (83) Cam Ward (30) Mike Commodore (113) Glen Wesley (+11) Cam Ward (2.93) The 2006–07 Carolina Hurricanes season began as the defending Stanley Cup champions started to defend their title. The Hurricanes did not make any substantial changes to their roster, hoping that their lineup would be enough to get them a repeat as NHL champions. However, due to many factors, including a shortened off-season due to last season's Stanley Cup run, injuries and disappointing performances from the team's young stars (including Eric Staal and Cam Ward), the team failed to qualify for the post-season becoming the first team since the 1995–96 New Jersey Devils to miss the playoffs after winning the Stanley Cup the previous year. 2 Regular season Season standings CAR CAR Schedule and results background:#fff;
