Carolina HURRICANES vs Vegas GOLDEN KNIGHTS / by Gregory Carter

Tonight , the “CUP” will be in the house! That’s right, Carolina can wrap things up this evening in the desert. The VGK will be without the services of Center “Wild” Bill Karlsson, a leading contributor to Vegas’ success. Somehow the VGK have to pull themselves up off the floor and force a Game 7 in Raleigh. Mitch Marner will have to pick up the slack and move to Center in Karlsson’s absence. For their part the HURRICANES have been everything their fans could imagine, and then some. Speed and defense always seems to be a hallmark for these CANES. Somehow the KNIGHTS have to stop veteran Center Jordon Staal who has scored in all 5 games of this series. Rookie Brandon Bussi will be between the pipes again this evening for Carolina again after putting together 2 straight wins. Carter Hart will be in net for Vegas. For a win tonight he will have to play like his hair is on fire. Adin Hill is the backup goalie and he will be ready if called upon IF Vegas falters.

Today’s PICK — Vegas GOLDEN KNIGHTS -105 — LOST
