The 1998–99 Carolina Hurricanes season was the second season of the NHL franchise in Greensboro, North Carolina. The club qualified for the playoffs, placing first in the NHL Southeast division. The Hurricanes lost in the Eastern Conference Quarter-finals to the Boston Bruins.

Offseason

In a re-organization of the NHL, the club was placed in the new Southeast Division. Another major headline is the Signing of former Hartford Whalers Captain Ron Francis

Regular season

The Hurricanes struggled on the power-play during the regular season, finishing 27th in power-play percentage, at 10.99%.[2]

The division was weaker than the Hurricanes' previous division, the Northeast and the Hurricanes were able to win the division and qualify for the playoffs, the only team from the division to do so.
