8. Jeff O’Neill (8 Goals, 2002)

7. Andrei Svechnikov (8 Goals, 2025)

Svechnikov’s most prolific postseason occurred in 2025, when he scored eight goals in 15 games, including a first-round hat trick against the New Jersey Devils. 

He also notched a goal in three straight games to help finish off the Washington Capitals in the second round. Svechnikov was held goalless in the Eastern Conference final defeat to the Florida Panthers.

Cory Stillman played in one postseason with the Hurricanes, but he made it count. He scored nine times en route to helping Carolina win its only championship. 

His goals were spread out evenly, with Stillman netting two against the Montreal Canadiens, two versus the Devils, three against the Buffalo Sabres, and two in the Stanley Cup Final against the Edmonton Oilers. 

5. Eric Staal (9 Goals, 2006)

With nine goals in the 2006 playoffs, Eric Staal equalled Stillman and Ray Whitney’s total. They had a share of second on the Hurricanes’ goal-scoring list during the 2006 Stanley Cup run.

Staal played only two postseasons with the Hurricanes, scoring nine in the 2006 Cup run and 10 in the 2009 playoffs.
