The season was suspended by the league officials on March 12, 2020, after several other professional and collegiate sports organizations followed suit as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4] On May 26, the NHL regular season was officially declared over with the remaining games being cancelled.[5] The Hurricanes advanced to the playoffs where they defeated the New York Rangers in a three-game sweep in the Qualifying Round, but were defeated in the First Round by the Boston Bruins in five games.[6]
