The Carolina Hurricanes are one win away from ending the 2026 Stanley Cup Final, and they'll look to do so in the desert on Sunday, June 14.

My Hurricanes vs. Golden Knights predictions and NHL picks expect Carolina to hoist the Cup in Game 6, with goaltender Brandon Bussi turning in another tidy performance in Game 6.

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 6 prediction

Hurricanes vs Golden Knights best bet: Brandon Bussi Over 21.5 saves (-110)

This total is too low for Carolina Hurricanes netminder Brandon Bussi.

In addition to winning consecutive starts, Bussi was particularly sharp in Game 5 with 23 saves and 2.84 goals saved above expected.

Meanwhile, the Vegas Golden Knights have consistently tilted the ice in their favor for stretches throughout the series:

  • 11 shots on 26 attempts in the second period of Game 1
  • 23 shots on 35 attempts in the second and third periods of Game 2
  • 23 shots on 43 attempts in the second and third periods of Game 3
  • Nine shots on 22 attempts in the third period of Game 4
  • 13 shots on 25 attempts in the third period of Game 5

The Golden Knights should place an even higher emphasis on testing Bussi early and often in Game 6, and I'd recommend playing this prop down to -125.

Hurricanes vs Golden Knights Game 6 same-game parlay

Carolina’s edge in overall depth in front of Bussi will be the difference in Game 6.

Vegas starter Carter Hart has surrendered at least four goals in all five games of the series, sporting an .856 save percentage and 5.06 goals saved below expected, and the loss of William Karlsson (wrist) is a huge blow to the Golden Knights.

The two teams have also combined for 39 goals with six or more in all five games, and with the potential for earlier empty-net situations in an elimination game, I’m anticipating another high-scoring bout.

Carolina winger Seth Jarvis has marked the scoresheet in three of the past four games and paces Carolina forwards in ice time and on-ice expected goals during the series.

I'd play this SGP down to +280.
