Stanley Cup Final 2026: Golden Knights vs. Hurricanes

Newsroom

The 2026 Stanley Cup Final features the Carolina Hurricanes and the Vegas Golden Knights, who faced off in what many anticipate to be an exhilarating series for hockey's highest honor. After dominating their respective conference finals, both teams advanced to the championship matchup, where they have already showcased a high-scoring affair.

The Hurricanes, having surged through the playoffs with a remarkable record of 12-1 prior to the Final, sought to claim their second championship, their first being in 2006. They consistently leaned on their defensive strengths throughout the regular season and playoffs. However, the Stanley Cup Final has turned into a scoring spectacle, with a total of 33 goals shared between the two teams across the first four games, marking a recent high not seen since 1981.

In the Final, the Golden Knights managed to sweep the Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference Final before entering Raleigh, where they split the first two games with the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes then returned home to secure victories in Games 3 and 4, regaining the home-ice advantage as the series proceeded to Game 5.

At the heart of the Golden Knights’ performance is Mitch Marner, who, in his inaugural season with the team, made a significant impact, particularly in the Final. Following his contribution in Game 4, Marner now holds a franchise record of 29 points—nine points ahead of the next player in the postseason.

As the series continues, here is the complete schedule for the Stanley Cup Final:
