The Stanley Cup Final is heating up as the Golden Knights and Hurricanes face off in a pivotal Game 5. The series is currently tied at 2-2, with the winner of Game 5 likely to take the series, according to historical data.
Game 4 Recap
In Game 4, the Hurricanes jumped out to a big lead in the first period, going up 3-1, but relinquished it all in the second period. The Hurricanes ultimately won the game 5-3, with their defense allowing only 21 shots.
The Golden Knights have had a chance to win all of the games in the series, but sometimes the puck just doesn’t bounce their way. They may consider pulling Carter Hart and giving someone else a try in the net.
Looking Ahead to Game 5
The Golden Knights will have to go back on the road for Game 5, which will be a tough challenge. However, they don’t seem opposed to the challenge and have shown they can compete with the Hurricanes. The offenses of both teams are really good, and even with few shots, we are seeing eight or more goals in the games.
It’s likely that Hart will still be in the net for Vegas, and Brandon Bussi will be in the net for the Hurricanes. The Golden Knights will need to come up with a game plan to take advantage of Bussi’s tendencies and implement it in Game 5.
