​  The 2026 Stanley Cup Final is nearing its end, and the Carolina Hurricanes are one win away from a championship. The Hurricanes won a pivotal Game 5 over the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday night to take a 3-2 series lead.In the most well-played game by either team in the series, the Hurricanes outplayed the Golden Knights for the vast majority of Game 5. Jordan Staal pushed his Stanley Cup final goal streak to a record five games with his sixth tally of the series, and the duo of Andrei Svechnikov and Sebastian Aho finally broke through for a combined three goals.Brandon Bussi, in the second playoff start of his career, turned away 23 of the 25 shots he faced. Since coming in to replace Frederik Andersen in Game 3, Bussi has been rock solid for Carolina, and he’s probably earned the start in Game 6.The Golden Knights are now on the ropes coming off their worst performance in quite some time. Carter Hart allowed four goals for the fifth straight game, special teams were an Achilles heel again and Jack Eichel remained quiet. Vegas needs a bounce-back effort to stay alive in this series.For the complete Stanley Cup Final schedule — as well as updates on results and broadcast info — follow along right here at CBS Sports.All times Eastern.Stanley Cup Final(1) Carolina Hurricanes vs. (1) Vegas Golden KnightsGame 1: Golden Knights 5, Hurricanes 4 | RecapGame 2: Hurricanes 4, Golden Knights 3 (OT) | RecapGame 3: Golden Knights 5, Hurricanes 4 (2OT) | RecapGame 4: Hurricanes 5, Golden Knights 3 | RecapGame 5: Hurricanes 4, Golden Knights 2 | RecapGame 6: Sunday, June 14 | at VGK | 8 p.m. | ABC*Game 7: Wednesday, June 17 | at CAR | 8 p.m. | ABCConference finals(1) Carolina Hurricanes vs. (3) Montreal CanadiensGame 1: Canadiens 6, Hurricanes 2 | RecapGame 2: Hurricanes 3, Canadiens 2 | RecapGame 3: Hurricanes 3, Canadiens 2 | RecapGame 4: Hurricanes 4, Canadiens 0 | RecapGame 5: Hurricanes 6, Canadiens 1 | Recap(1) Colorado Avalanche vs. (1) Vegas Golden KnightsGame 1: Golden Knights 4, Avalanche 2 | RecapGame 2: Golden Knights 3, Avalanche 1 | RecapGame 3: Golden Knights 5, Avalanche 3 | RecapGame 4: Golden Knights 2, Avalanche 1 | RecapRound 2(1) Carolina Hurricanes vs. (3) Philadelphia FlyersGame 1: Hurricanes 3, Flyers 0 | RecapGame 2: Hurricanes 3, Flyers 2 (OT) | RecapGame 3: Hurricanes 4, Flyers 1 | RecapGame 4: Hurricanes 3, Flyers 2 (OT) | Recap(1) Buffalo Sabres vs. (3) Montreal CanadiensGame 1: Sabres 4, Canadiens 2 | RecapGame 2: Canadiens 5, Sabres 1 | RecapGame 3: Canadiens 6, Sabres 2 | RecapGame 4: Sabres 3, Canadiens 2 | RecapGame 5: Canadiens 6, Sabres 3 | RecapGame 6: Sabres 8, Canadiens 3 | RecapGame 7: Canadiens 3, Sabres 2 (OT) | Recap(1) Colorado Avalanche (3) Minnesota WildGame 1: Avalanche 9, Wild 6 | RecapGame 2: Avalanche 5, Wild 2 | RecapGame 3: Wild 5, Avalanche 1 | RecapGame 4: Avalanche 5, Wild 2 | RecapGame 5: Avalanche 4, Wild 3 (OT) | Recap(1) Vegas Golden Knights (3) Anaheim DucksGame 1: Golden Knights 3, Ducks 1 | Rec  CBS Sports Headlines
