What happened: Carolina and Vegas play Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET, airing on ABC and the ESPN App. The Golden Knights hold a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series heading into the night.

Why it matters: The result swings the series sharply: a Vegas win opens a 3-1 stranglehold that is historically difficult to overcome, while a Carolina win levels the Final at two games apiece and resets it to a best-of-three. For the Hurricanes, avoiding a 3-1 hole is close to a must-win.

What to watch: Watch whether Carolina can even the series or whether Vegas seizes a 3-1 edge with Game 5 to follow.
