The ’98-’99 Carolina Hurricanes were the 17th seed in the inaugural Ultimate NHL Playoff. They swept the 48th-seeded ’30-’31 Philadelphia Quakers in the First Round and then took a 3-0 series lead in the Second Round over the 16th-seeded ’03-’04 Tampa Bay Lightning. However, they would blow that 3-0 lead and become the first team in UNP history to do so.
