Why the Carolina Hurricanes' defense could stifle Vegas in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals

We have fresh ice, guys locked in, superstitions upheld and the Stanley Cup probably somewhere being polished. I can't wait for the first game of the series between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Carolina Hurricanes. Although it doesn't have a premier team in the league, this could still be a great matchup.

It probably makes a bit of sense to mention how the teams got here, so let's start with the regular season.

The Golden Knights weren't exactly elite during it, but they clearly did enough to make the postseason.
