Overview
- Game 6 is set for Sunday, June 14 at 8:00 p.m. ET at T‑Mobile Arena and will be nationally televised on ABC.
- Carolina leads the Final 3–2 and can clinch the Stanley Cup with one more win, having taken Games 4 and 5 to seize momentum.
- Brandon Bussi, who stabilized Carolina’s net after a midseries switch, is expected to start for the Hurricanes while coach Rod Brind’Amour said all options remain available.
- Vegas coach John Tortorella confirmed Carter Hart will start despite Hart allowing four or more goals in each of the first five Final games, and the Knights will be without center William Karlsson, who was ruled out for Game 6 with an upper‑body injury.
- Special teams, shot quality and recent advanced metrics favor Carolina’s structure and power play, and the outcome will decide whether the Cup is settled in Las Vegas or returned to Raleigh for a Game 7.
