What happened: The Vegas Golden Knights look to take a commanding series lead against the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final. Vegas reclaimed the series advantage with a 5-4 double-overtime victory in Game 3, despite a resilient effort from the Eastern Conference champions.
Why it matters: A win would put Vegas one victory away from their second championship, while Carolina fights to avoid a 3-1 deficit. The Hurricanes face a goaltending dilemma after Frederik Andersen was pulled in Game 3, potentially opening the door for backup Brandon Bussi to start in this high-stakes matchup.
By the numbers: Vegas leads the series 2-1 after winning Game 3 in 2OT. The Golden Knights have scored 13 goals through three games. Carolina's William Carrier remains questionable with an upper-body injury, while Vegas defenseman Brayden McNabb logged 35 minutes in Game 3 while wearing a full cage.
What to watch: Puck drop is set for 8 PM ET at T-Mobile Arena, airing on ABC and ESPN+.
