The Carolina Hurricanes enter Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final on Sunday, June 14, in Las Vegas holding a 3-2 series lead over the Vegas Golden Knights and needing one win to secure their second championship and first in 20 years. Carolina is expected to start goaltender Frederik Andersen, reinforcing a defense that has contained a resilient Vegas team. The Golden Knights, missing forward William Karlsson for the elimination game, aim to simplify their play and become the 19th team to force a Game 7 after trailing 3-1 in the Finals. A Hurricanes victory would crown the 2026 NHL champion.
