Brind’Amour led Carolina (36-12-8, franchise-record .714 pts. pct.) to the Discover NHL Central Division title, the team’s first division crown since its Stanley Cup-winning season of 2005-06, and third place in the overall NHL standings. The Hurricanes have reached the Stanley Cup Playoffs in each of Brind’Amour’s three seasons behind the bench, marking the franchise’s first three-year postseason streak since moving to Carolina in 1997-98. The Hurricanes excelled on special teams, being the only NHL club to rank top-three both on the power-play (2nd, 25.6%) and while shorthanded (3rd, 85.2%).

The first Jack Adams Award winner in franchise history, Brind’Amour adds the trophy to a pair of individual NHL Awards he received over his 1,484-game playing career: he captured the Frank Selke Trophy as the League’s top defensive forward with Carolina in 2005-06 and 2006-07.
