### Hurricanes vs Golden Knights: 2026 Stanley Cup Final Preview

CBS Sports NHL • May 31, 2026 at 4:28 PM ET

[×](/da/sports?tab=cbssports-nhl)

Carolina and Vegas open their Stanley Cup Final series Tuesday in Raleigh, setting up a compelling matchup between two teams with championship pedigree. **Rod Brind'Amour** chases history as the Hurricanes' coach, attempting to join an elite group of seven who captured the Cup as both player and coach with the same franchise. Brind'Amour captained Carolina's 2006 title team and now sits four wins from replicating that success behind the bench.

The Hurricanes steamrolled through the playoffs at 12-1, sweeping Ottawa and Philadelphia before dispatching Montreal in five games. **Frederik Andersen** has been stellar in net with a 1.41 goals-against average and **.931 save percentage**, positioning himself as the Conn Smythe favorite. Taylor Hall leads the offense with 16 points, while Logan Stankoven contributes nine goals and 12 points overall.

Vegas counters with significant experience, as 11 roster members remain from their 2023 championship run. **Mitchell Marner** tops all playoff scorers with 21 points, and Jack Eichel adds 18 more while leading the league with 16 assists. The Golden Knights went 19-4-1 since John Tortorella took over in late March, including their stunning sweep of Presidents' Trophy winner Colorado.

Sportsbooks favor Carolina at **-150 to -155 odds**, with Vegas listed between +125 and +130. The analyst's pick favors the Golden Knights in six games, citing their championship experience advantage. Marner's 24 points in 22 career games against Carolina and Eichel's strong record versus the Hurricanes provide confidence in the Vegas offense overcoming Brind'Amour's historic quest.
