An extremely back-and-forth Stanley Cup Final continued Tuesday night with the Carolina Hurricanes tying their series with the Vegas Golden Knights at two games apiece. The Hurricanes are back to being favorites to win the title at -145, longer than their pre-series -155 odds, and the Golden Knights are +120, shorter than the +130 they showed before the Final.
Carolina and Vegas were two of the most favored teams by sportsbooks throughout the regular season and playoffs, with the former entering the campaign as a +750 co-favorite and the latter starting close behind at +900. The Canes were a second-best +475 at the beginning of the postseason, while the Knights were a fourth best 10-1.
Mitch Marner is still the slight odds-on favorite for the Conn Smythe Trophy at -105, but Vegas' Game 4 loss cooled his hype somewhat, as he was -200 after his historic Game 3. Carolina's Taylor Hall (+380), Logan Stankoven (+380) and Jordan Staal (+550) are all within shouting distance, while Frederik Andersen has fallen out of contention at 200-1 after losing the starting goalie role to Brandon Bussi (150-1).
The Hurricanes have been installed as -155 favorites for Game 5, with the Golden Knights coming in at +130. The total has finally reached 6.5 after four straight overs at 5.5, but the juice favors the under at -135.
