The Edge
The market is pricing this as a near pick'em at -115/-105, dramatically underweighting Karlsson's absence and Carolina's superior goaltending in a close-out spot.
Key Factors
- Carolina leads 3-2 and is one win away from the Stanley Cup, having won Game 5 decisively 4-2.
- Vegas is without second-line center William Karlsson, confirmed out by coach Tortorella, due to a left wrist/arm/shoulder injury suffered in Game 5.
- Carter Hart has allowed 4 or more goals in all 5 games of this Final — historically unprecedented — yet remains Vegas's starter, offering no goaltending upgrade for the Knights.
- Brandon Bussi was sharp in Game 5 with 23 saves and 2.84 goals saved above expected in back-to-back winning starts, giving Carolina a clear goaltending edge.
