What happened: Vegas Golden Knights captain Mark Stone expressed a simple mandate ahead of a high-stakes Game 6 on home ice. Stone told PK Subban the team's only focus is securing a single victory to extend the series and avoid a season-ending loss in the Stanley Cup Final.

Why it matters: The Golden Knights trail the series 3-2 and must win tonight to keep their championship aspirations alive. Facing elimination at T-Mobile Arena, Vegas is attempting to force a decisive Game 7 against a Carolina squad that has won two consecutive games to take control of the series.

What to watch: Game 6 begins tonight in Las Vegas with the Hurricanes one win away from their first championship since 2006.
