Glen Wesley Florida Everblades

The 2001–02 Carolina Hurricanes season was the franchise's 23rd season in the National Hockey League and fifth as the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes made it as far as the Stanley Cup Finals, but lost in five games to the Detroit Red Wings.

Regular season

The Hurricanes had the most power-play opportunities of all 30 NHL teams, with 391.

On January 29, 2002, in a 2-2 tie against the Buffalo Sabres, Ron Francis was honored in a pregame ceremony due to his many high achievements, such as 1,500 games played overall, 1,000 games played as a member of the Hurricanes and recording his 500th career goal (which he achieved 27 days prior in a 6-3 loss to the Boston Bruins), and earning second place in all-time assists in National Hockey League history, passing Ray Bourque (which he achieved three days earlier in a 4-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers).
