The Carolina Hurricanes have won Game 2 of the 2026 Stanley Cup Final over the Vegas Golden Knights . It was not the easiest game for Rod Brind'Amour's team. But they made it work out in the end. Seth Jarvis was the overtime hero in Game 2 to even the Final at 1-1 as the series shifts to Las Vegas.

The Hurricanes needed this win in a big way. And the momentum certainly shifts as a result of how things went down. Carolina looked to be staring a 2-0 deficit square in the face. Things changed quickly, though, and that is huge for the Hurricanes.
"You get a new shot of life. That's what it feels like. It's what we needed," Brind'Amour said after Game 2, via The Athletic's Jesse Granger.
Brett Howden was a menace for the Golden Knights early in this game. He scored both of Vegas's first two goals as they carried a 2-0 lead into the third period. However, Logan Stankoven scored in the third to bring things back to within one. And Mark Jankowski scored his first of the playoffs to tie the contest 2-2.
Later in the third, Jordan Staal scored on the power play to make it a 3-2 game. As the clock ticked down, it seemed as if Carolina had things under control. But Mark Stone found the back of the net with 95 seconds remaining to force overtime. In the extra frame, Jarvis scored Carolina's second power-play goal of the night to seal the win.
