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 tonight.
My top Hurricanes vs. Golden Knights predictions and NHL picks for Saturday, June 6 call for Carolina to take Game 3 despite Vegas No. 1 Carter Hart showing off in his return to Sin City.
Puck drop is set for 8 p.m. ET from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with the game airing on ABC and Sportsnet.
Hurricanes vs Golden Knights Game 3 prediction today
Who will win Hurricanes vs Golden Knights Game 3?
Carolina Hurricanes: The Hurricanes rebounded in Game 2 to run over the Golden Knights with a 63.3 Corsi For percentage at five-on-five and winning the overall expected goals battle at 55.8%.
I’m also expecting improvement from Carolina starter Frederik Andersen, with his .837 save percentage and -2.18 goals saved above expected miles below the respective .931 and 15.48 marks he posted through the first three rounds of the postseason.
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 at 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 for Carolina to win 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.

Hurricanes vs Golden Knights Game 3 goal scorer pick
Andrei Svechnikov (+230)
Svechnikov has been held to a single assist and shot through two games of the finals despite racking up a team-high 0.8 expected goals and five high-danger scoring chances.
The Russian winger has also been limited to just three goals and a 6.8 shooting percentage this postseason, so considering he continues to skate in a go-to offensive role and leads Carolina with 7.07 ixG, I’m anticipating the scoring slump coming to an end in Game 3.
This prop shows value down to +200.
