The Carolina Hurricanes tied the Stanley Cup Final series 1-1 with an overtime win against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 2, played in Las Vegas. Forward Seth Jarvis scored the decisive goal in the extra period, completing a comeback that altered the series momentum. The matchup featured heavy physical play and a failed coach’s challenge by Vegas head coach John Tortorella, which became a key turning point. Carolina’s victory blunted the early dominance of Vegas’s original roster core seen in Game 1. The best-of-seven series now shifts to Raleigh, where both teams will face increased pressure in the upcoming games.
