In Part 1 of this series, we saw a lot of clutch goals from the regular season and a few special goals from the postseason. From here on out, the focus will all be focused on clutch postseason goals in the history of the Carolina Hurricanes.

The second part will touch on many big moments from some of the team’s deepest runs during the playoffs. Spanning over two decades, there were plenty of goals to pick from. These selections aren’t strong enough to enter into my top five, though some of them I heavily considered moving up.

Just a reminder, this list isn’t meant to be the most iconic goals in team history. The timing of the goals is the most critical factor in determining what constitutes a “clutch.” Goals scored late in the third period will usually be weighted more than overtime goals. That said, clutch and iconic can work together, which will be clear with this portion of my list. Some of these goals are iconic moments in the lore of the Carolina Hurricanes.
