The Vegas Golden Knights faced the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final, resulting in a 5-3 loss that tied the series at 2-2. Carolina captain Jordan Staal scored the game-winning goal in the third period, capitalizing on a defensive-zone turnover by Vegas defenseman Shea Theodore.

Golden Knights coach John Tortorella expressed frustration regarding the team's defensive lapses, stating that they left Staal unchecked on the winning goal. Meanwhile, the Golden Knights are looking for more offensive production from Jack Eichel, who has struggled to score in the playoffs, with only two goals to his name.

As the series shifts to Game 5, experts are reassessing their predictions, with a focus on how Vegas can exploit rookie goalie Brandon Bussi of the Hurricanes and improve their special teams. The stakes are high as the Golden Knights aim to regain the upper hand in the series, needing to win two of the next three games to clinch the title again.
