- Carolina leads the Stanley Cup Final 3-2 and can clinch the Cup in Game 6
- The Hurricanes are short road favorites in Vegas for Sunday’s potential clincher
- See the opening Game 6 odds, updated Conn Smythe prices and Cup futures below
Carolina is one win away. The Hurricanes took Game 5 at home 4-2 to grab a 3-2 series lead, and they head back to Las Vegas on Sunday with a chance to lift the franchise’s first Stanley Cup since 2006. Vegas now faces elimination on home ice.
Even on the road, Carolina is a slight favorite in the Game 6 odds, which says plenty about how this series has gone. A key Vegas injury and a goaltending edge have the Canes in control.
Here are the updated Hurricanes vs Golden Knights odds at FanDuel for Game 6.
Hurricanes vs Golden Knights Game 6 Odds
The Hurricanes vs Golden Knights odds are nearly a pick’em, with Carolina at -113 and Vegas at -106 on the moneyline, both right around a 50% implied chance. That’s a telling number for a home team trying to stave off elimination, since that team usually gets a clear edge. The total sits at 5.5 goals with the over juiced to -124.

Why Carolina Is Favored on the Road
The biggest factor is the loss of William Karlsson. The Vegas center was hurt on a Sean Walker check in Game 5 and is unlikely to return, which guts the middle of the ice and the penalty kill that already let in two power-play goals after he left.
The power play has been the series-long separator. Carolina is clicking at 37.5% (6-for-16) while Vegas sits at 13.3% (2-for-15), and Andrei Svechnikov’s two man-advantage goals powered the Game 5 win. With Karlsson out, Vegas also loses a key penalty killer, which only tilts that special teams battle further toward the Canes.
The Goaltending Edge
Carolina’s crease has gone from a weakness to a strength. Brandon Bussi has taken over the net and stopped 23 of 25 shots in Game 5, posting a .908 save percentage across the series while Frederik Andersen sits.
Carter Hart, meanwhile, hasn’t given Vegas enough. He owns a .856 save percentage in the Final and became the first goalie in league history to allow four-plus goals in each of the first four games of a Cup Final. That gap in net is a big reason the Canes are favored on the road.
Hurricanes vs Golden Knights Stanley Cup Odds
The series price lines up with Game 6. Carolina is a heavy -420 favorite to win the Cup at an 80.8% implied chance, while Vegas sits at +320 needing two straight wins.
The Canes haven’t lost back-to-back games since mid-January, and history backs the chalk, as the team that wins Game 5 of a 2-2 series goes on to win it about 74% of the time. You can track the full board on the Stanley Cup odds page.
Updated Conn Smythe Odds
The Conn Smythe race has shifted along with the series. Jordan Staal has surged to the front after scoring in all five games of the Final, with Mitch Marner and a group of Carolina forwards chasing him.
Staal is the -105 favorite at a 51.2% implied chance, the only player on the board at even money or shorter. The veteran captain became the first player to score in each of the first five games of a Cup Final since Jean Béliveau in 1956, and a Carolina clincher would make his case tough to ignore.
Marner is the lone Vegas player near the top at +310, which is rare for someone on a trailing team. He leads all playoff scorers, but he only wins the award if the Knights rally to take the Cup. The rest of the board is Carolina depth, with Taylor Hall and Logan Stankoven at +600 and Nikolaj Ehlers at +1000.
