The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 in Game 2 of the 2026 Stanley Cup Final, evening the series at one game apiece. Seth Jarvis fired a power-play one-timer past Vegas goaltender Carter Hart at the 3:56 mark of overtime to seal the victory.
The Hurricanes trailed 2-0 entering the third period after a pair of goals from Vegas center Brett Howden. Carolina mounted a third-period rally to take the lead. Logan Stankoven and Mark Jankowski found the net before captain Jordan Staal scored on a power play to make it 3-2.
Mark Stone scored a tying goal for Vegas late in regulation to force the extra period. The result gives Carolina an eighth consecutive overtime win in postseason play, a streak dating back to the 2025 playoffs.
