Vegas Golden Knights vs Carolina Hurricanes Prediction, Picks & Odds | 11 Jun 2026

Stanley Cup Final Betting Preview: Golden Knights vs Hurricanes

The Vegas Golden Knights (39-26-17, 19-14-8 on the road) take on the Carolina Hurricanes (53-22-7, 29-10-2 at home) at Lenovo Center in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final. The series is tied 2-2.

The Golden Knights face the Hurricanes with the total set at 6.5 goals and we think that gives bettors enough room to back the Under. With plenty at stake, we're expecting a tighter, more disciplined game, with neither team likely to take unnecessary risks. This line still allows for six goals to be scored, making Under 6.5 at -132 our preferred play.

The Stanley Cup Final is tied at 2-2 after four games. Vegas opened the series with a 5-4 road victory, Carolina responded with a 4-3 overtime win in Game 2, the Golden Knights edged a 5-4 overtime thriller in Game 3, while the Hurricanes bounced back with a 5-3 victory at T-Mobile Arena two nights ago.

Jordan Staal starred for Carolina in Game 4, scoring twice as the Canes outshot the Knights 28-21. Jackson Blake, Logan Stankoven and Nikolaj Ehlers also found the net, while Mark Stone, William Karlsson and Brett Howden scored for Vegas.

Head-to-Head Statistics

The Canes hold a 6-4 advantage across the last 10 head-to-head matchups.
