Down 1-0, Hurricanes prepared for long series against Golden Knights

The Carolina Hurricanes trail the Vegas Golden Knights 1-0 in the Stanley Cup Final after a 5-4 Game 1 loss on Tuesday, with Game 2 scheduled for Thursday night in Raleigh, North Carolina. Carolina's Nikolaj Ehlers scored two first-period goals to give the Hurricanes an early 2-0 lead before Vegas rallied to win. The Golden Knights enter Game 2 riding a seven-game playoff winning streak, while Carolina looks to replicate their earlier series comeback after dropping Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals to Montreal before winning four straight.
