Carolina Hurricanes @ Vegas Golden Knights | T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas NV | Puck Drop: 8:00 PM ET
The Carolina Hurricanes are one win away from the Stanley Cup championship. They sit at 3-2 up in the series after a 4-2 Game 5 victory at home. Tonight they travel to Las Vegas for Game 6, where the Vegas Golden Knights face elimination.
This game will likely be played at a controlled defensive pace typical of elimination play. The central tension is Carolina's elite possession and shot creation edges leading the NHL in 5-on-5 shot attempts at 58.8 percent against Vegas's desperate need to generate offense without William Karlsson who is out with an upper body injury. The Hurricanes depth scoring led by Jordan Staal who has scored in all five Finals games gives them a clear edge in this closeout spot.
