Stanley Cup Final: Hurricanes vs. Golden Knights Prediction, Winner, Over/Under for Game 4

After splitting the first two games of the Stanley Cup Final, the Golden Knights couldn’t have scripted a better start. Vegas racked up 4 second-period goals, with RW Mitch Marner tallying a hat trick in the frame.

However, the Hurricanes rallied to score 4 unanswered goals in the third period to force overtime. Three of those goals came in a 39-second span, which was the fastest 3 goals by one team in a Stanley Cup Final game.

D Shea Theodore ended up scoring a bizarre game-winning goal that helped the Golden Knights avoid a monumental collapse. In doing so, Vegas joined the 1972 Boston Bruins as the only teams in NHL history to give up a 4-goal lead in a Stanley Cup Final game and still win, per ESPN Insights. 

All three Stanley Cup Final games have been decided by just 1 goal, with two of those contests going to overtime. There have been 25 combined goals in the series, which is the most through three games of a Stanley Cup Final since 1981.
