The Hurricanes did it. They elminated the Devils in five games, moving on to face the Buffalo Sabres in the Conference Finals. They managed to stop, what once was, a surging Devils team and stop them in their tracks with great intent.

In the finale, Cory Stillman scored the winning goal for the Hurricanes, Mark Recchi had two assists and Frank Kaberle, Eric Staal, Ray Whitney, Dough Weight and Justin Williams all recorded a single point each.

The last game for the Devils only saw them score one goal... Brian Gionta from Zach Parise and Brian Rafalski. Not a very meaningful set a points from the last of the Devils.

Points from players eliminated:
Patrik Elias, 6G 10A
Jamie Langenbrunner, 3G 10A 1GWG
Martin Brodeur, 5W 1SO
Scott Gomez, 5G 4A 1GWG
Brian Gionta, 3G 4A 2GWG
Brian Rafalski, 1G 8A
John Madden, 4G 1A
Zach Parise, 1G 2A
Paul Martin, 3A

What can ya say? The Oilers are on a roll. Scoring 12 goals in their last two games means that they've found a way to get shots past Vesa Toskala after being stymied in the first two games of the season.

It was a multiple-point haven for the Oilers... Ryan Smyth led the pool players with 2 goals and 2 assists, Shawn Horcoff had a goal and 2 assists, Jaroslav Spacek, Ales Hemsky & Chris Pronger all had 2 assists and the winning goalie, Dwayne Roloson had a pair of points for the win. The lead for the pool has been cut down from 15 to 8 points... thanks to the big Oilers win.

For the Sharks, Christian Ehrhoff had a goal and an assist, whilst Patrick Marleau, Joe Thornton, Ville Nieminen & Jonathon Cheechoo all had single points as well.

There is still at least one more game left in the series... two, if the Sharks win on Wednesday night (8pm on CBC).
