På grund av allt från skador till kontraktssituation. Men hoppades in i det sista på Leo Carlsson i Anaheim, men hans monsterkontrakt som ska skrivas i sommar blev det som avgjorde att det inte blev något VM-spel. Det sista hoppet om stjärnförstärkning var Buffalos lagkapten Rasmus Dahlin, som nyligen förlorade den avgörande sjunde matchen mot Montreal.

VICTOIRE: Montreal wins first Walter Cup -
The Montreal Victoire defeated the Ottawa Charge 4-0 in Game 4 of the 2026 Walter Cup final to clinch the franchise’s first-ever Walter Cup championship on Wednesday night at the Canadian Tire Centre. Abby Roque scored twice, including a shorthanded beauty in the third period to provide the buffer the team needed. Ann-Renée Desbiens made 23 saves in the shutout win. Maggie Flaherty also scored in the third period to make it 3-0 with a seeing-eye shot from the point. Flaherty is the first player to win three Walter Cups, having won two with the Minnesota Frost before coming over in free agency this summer. Lina Ljungblom added a fourth. With 10:02 remaining in the third period and Marie-Philip Poulin in the penalty box, Roque broke free on a breakaway before moving to the backhand and roofing the puck over Ottawa goaltender Gwyneth Philips.

There is some banter with regard to Jesperi Kotkaniemi before the conversation focuses more on the upcoming series.The Hurricanes’ greatest strength heading into this series is their ability to roll four lines without losing pace, structure, or pressure. Sebastian Aho’s top unit naturally draws the most attention, much in the same way as Montreal’s top line does. The Hurricanes have been winning through depth, especially the second line of Logan Stankoven, Jackson Blake and Taylor Hall which has emerged as a dominant force at five-on-five. Carolina’s third line becomes even more dangerous with Nikolaj Ehlers, whose elite skating and ability to create offence through the neutral zone make him a matchup nightmare.
