Jackson Blake Shines in Stanley Cup Win

Jackson Blake, former UND standout, just etched his name into NHL history by helping the Carolina Hurricanes win the 2026 Stanley Cup — becoming the first former UND player to do so since T.J. Oshie in 2018. Blake exploded in the playoffs with 20 points (7G, 13A) in 19 games, matching Oshie’s 2018 record for most points by a former UND player in a single postseason. He also joined elite company with Oshie and Toews for over 20 playoff points since 2011. Blake made franchise history as the youngest Hurricane ever to record seven multi-point games in one postseason, and in the Cup-clinching game, he became the fourth Hurricane ever to score a multi-point night in a championship game — and the youngest NHL player to do so since 2012. The Hurricanes defeated Vegas in six games, and Blake’s Minnesota-born heroics proved that college roots can lead to Cup glory. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
