Hurricanes' Seth Jarvis scores unreal OT goal to even 2026 Stanley Cup Final appeared first on ClutchPoints . Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here .

The Carolina Hurricanes did not have the greatest Game 1, and their start in Game 2 wasn't much better. Brett Howden scored twice for the Vegas Golden Knights to put Carolina in a hole. However, captain Jordan Staal and his team battled back to tie the 2026 Stanley Cup Final.

Logan Stankoven got the party started in the third period with his 10th goal of the playoffs. Later on, Mark Jankowski came through with an unlikely goal in the Final, as well. Staal gave them a lead with a power play goal, but overtime was needed. Seth Jarvis was Carolina's hero in Game 2, scoring the winner in the extra frame.

The Hurricanes certainly needed this win. Carolina did not want to face the possibility of going to Las Vegas down 2-0 in the series. Especially considering that only two teams have won the Stanley Cup in history while losing the first two games on home ice, according to the ESPN on ABC broadcast.

This goal was also especially big for Jarvis. The Hurricanes star has not had the most productive postseason in 2026. After his third straight 30+ goal season in 2025-26, the Winnipeg native had only two playoff goals entering Game 2. And his last goal was an empty-net marker.

Jarvis and his teammates certainly won't dwell on that now. They know they will have another home game on the schedule this season. Furthermore, this series is all even again following this win in Game 2. It will certainly be interesting to see if Jarvis can keep this momentum going in Game 3 on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
