Canes close in on Stanley Cup, Dylan Larkin’s trade list expands and more NHL drama - The Athletic

The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals, taking a 3-2 series lead and moving one win away from their second Stanley Cup championship. Carolina's second-period surge proved decisive, with Andrei Svechnikov scoring two power-play goals after Pavel Dorofeyev had given Vegas an early lead. The series could conclude this weekend in Las Vegas, or potentially extend to a Game 7 on Wednesday.
