Stanley Cup Final Set as Hurricanes and Golden Knights Advance

Jun 1
1 min read

After nearly two months of playoff hockey, we're down to two teams.


The Carolina Hurricanes and the Vegas Golden Knights will face off in the Stanley Cup Final after both teams made quick work of their conference finals opponents.


Carolina knocked off the Montreal Canadiens in five games, continuing what has been an impressive playoff run. Through three rounds, the Hurricanes have lost just one game and carry a 12-1 record into the final.


Vegas arrives well rested after sweeping the Colorado Avalanche in four straight games to capture the Western Conference title.


Montreal's run came to an end in the Eastern Conference Final, but the Canadiens turned plenty of heads this spring and gave Canadian hockey fans a lot to cheer for along the way.

Now it's down to Carolina and Vegas.


The Hurricanes come in with plenty of momentum, and the Golden Knights have had a few extra days to rest.


Either way, one team is just four wins away from lifting the Stanley Cup.
