Summary

Carolina’s Comeback

For the first time in 108 Stanley Cup finals, both teams staged multigoal comeback wins in the opening two games.
Carolina became the first team in more than 80 years to win a Final game after trailing by multiple goals in the last 10 minutes of regulation.
Vegas was the first team since 1944 to surrender a multigoal lead and still force overtime in a Final.

History

Historical Context

The 1944 Stanley Cup Final saw the Montreal Canadiens sweep the Chicago Black Hawks, ending a long championship drought. A year later, the Toronto Maple Leafs rallied from a 3-0 deficit to force a seventh game, a comeback not repeated until 2024. Those rare turnarounds echo the 2026 Vegas Golden Knights–Carolina Hurricanes matchup, where both teams seek similar historic reversals.
