Hurricanes call on 'Mr. Game 7' Williams to ring siren for Game 1

The Carolina Hurricanes were looking for some good Stanley Cup Playoff mojo, so why not call on "Mr. Game 7?"

Former Hurricanes forward Justin Williams, now an advisor for the team, rang the siren prior to Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round against the Boston Bruins.

Williams, who has the fourth most playoff goals (12) and points (26) in Hurricanes history, played in a Game 7 nine times in his career, putting up seven goals and 15 points. His teams were 8-1 in those games, earning him the nickname "Mr. Game 7."
Williams retired after the 2019-20 season. He played 19 NHL seasons with the Hurricanes, Los Angeles Kings, Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals.
He helped lead the Hurricanes to the Stanley Cup in 2006 and won two more with the Kings in 2012 and 2014.
