What happened: Vegas Golden Knights head coach John Tortorella said he is confident his team will force a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Final. The comments came after Vegas dropped a 4-2 decision in Raleigh, leaving the club facing elimination.

Why it matters: A loss ends the series and the season, so Tortorella's bravado doubles as a rallying point for a team with no margin left. Forcing a Game 7 would hand Vegas one more shot at the franchise's title chase after surrendering momentum on the road.

What to watch: Watch whether the Golden Knights can stave off elimination at home and send the series back for a deciding game.
