Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final takes place Tuesday night at T-Mobile Arena after a thrilling result in Game 3 on Saturday night. The Vegas Golden Knights carry a 2-1 series lead into Game 4 with a chance to take a commanding advantage on home ice over the Carolina Hurricanes.
Not only was Game 3 as exciting as an NHL playoff game can get, but the entire series has delivered so far. It has been a back-and-forth battle with plenty of scoring, as all three games have been decided by one goal, including an overtime game in Game 2 and a double-overtime thriller in Game 3.
After the Hurricanes evened the series at one game apiece before heading to Vegas, the Golden Knights earned a wild victory in Game 3. Vegas scored four second-period goals to take a 4-0 lead, including its first two goals just 16 seconds apart. Carolina then responded with three goals in the third period within a span of 39 seconds before scoring the game-tying goal with 1:42 remaining in regulation to force overtime.
As if Game 3 couldn’t get any more exciting, the first overtime period ended scoreless, forcing a second overtime under NHL playoff rules. Veteran defenseman Shea Theodore played the hero for the Golden Knights, scoring his sixth goal of the postseason to win the game in double overtime and give Vegas the series lead heading into Game 4.

Hurricanes vs. Golden Knights Best Bet: Jordan Staal Over 0.5 Points
Although Game 4 isn’t technically a must-win for the Hurricanes, it certainly feels that way. Carolina will be desperate to avoid falling into a daunting 3-1 series deficit.
If the Hurricanes are going to even the series on Tuesday night, they’ll need contributions from their leaders, including captain Jordan Staal.
Staal scored 20 goals during the regular season and finished with 36 points in 75 games. His nine points this postseason are tied for the sixth-most on the team, but the veteran center has elevated his game in the Stanley Cup Final.
Even as the oldest player participating in this year’s Stanley Cup Final, Staal leads Carolina in goals (3), points (4), and shots on goal (10) through the first three games of the series. He has recorded a point in every game of the Final so far, including a goal and an assist in Game 3, and has registered a point in four of his last five games overall.
At plus money, with so much on the line and goals coming in bunches throughout this series, Staal’s points prop offers strong value heading into Game 4.
