Tampa Bay Lightning - Carolina Hurricanes

The Hurricanes are in a do or die situation. They have a good tradition in such situations though. And they have the skill to get the work done. They have played well in the previous games, and I would consider them unfortunate to be down 1-3, seeing that they have played the better 5 vs 5 hockey across the series. Tonight's game feels like it could go either way, but I lean towards that the Canes will force a game 6. Carolina wins!

Vegas Golden Knights - Colorado Avalanche

Vegas have dominated the Avalanche for three straight games now, winning the last two. The first one, Grubauer stole with a stellar goalie performance. I think that's what it take for the Avs to even stay in the game for 60 minutes, judging by the current trend. Vegas wins!

In summary, my winners are:

Carolina Hurricanes
Vegas Golden Knights
