The Carolina Hurricanes head west after evening the Stanley Cup Final, and they’ll look to make it two in a row with a win over the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 3 at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday, June 6.

My top Hurricanes vs. Golden Knights predictions and NHL picks call for Carolina to take Game 3 despite Vegas No. 1 Carter Hart showing off in his return to Sin City.

Hurricanes vs Golden Knights Game 3 prediction

Hurricanes vs Golden Knights best bet: Carter Hart Over 26.5 saves (-115)

Vegas Golden Knights starter Carter Hart has been exceptional at T-Mobile Arena with a .929 save percentage and 6.82 goals saved above expected (GSAx) across eight postseason games.

The Carolina Hurricanes have also dominated 5-on-5 possession with a 63.3 Corsi For percentage through the first two games of the series.

I am anticipating tidier work from Hart in the Vegas crease in Game 3.

He’s dipped to an .855 SV% with -2.49 GSAx to start the Stanley Cup Final, after all, so I’m fully expecting the statistical pendulum to swing back in Hart’s favor Saturday.

This prop has my attention up a -130 price, and I’d also play it at Over 27.5 saves to -120.

Hurricanes vs Golden Knights Game 3 same-game parlay

The drop in play from Carolina starter Frederik Andersen has gone too far to start the series, with his .837 SV% and -2.18GSAx miles below his respective .931 and 15.48 marks to start the postseason.

Improved play from Andersen paired with the Hurricanes winning the 5-on-5 possession battle again, paves the way to Carolina winning Game 3.

Additionally, Carolina wingers Andrei Svechnikov and Nikolaj Ehlers both have excellent underlying numbers to start the series.

Svechnikov sports a high-end 64.3 CF% at 5-on-5, while Ehlers is even better with a 65.6% mark. Ehlers also has six shots on 15 attempts to tie for the team lead in both through two games, while Svechnikov has a statistical correction coming after recording just a single shot on nine attempts in the final.
