Carolina Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights head-to-head record
In the last five games, the Carolina Hurricanes prevailed in three of the five times they have battled each other. Among these are a dominant 5-2 win that happened on November 12th, 2024, as well as wins in February as well as December 2023. During this time, the Golden Knights only had one win, a 4-0 shutout on the 12th of March 2023. Because Carolina performs greatly at home and can take advantage of Vegas's weaknesses in these games, it looks like they might win again. But Pavel Dorofeyev along with Mark Stone have performed well for Vegas, so the Golden Knights could push back and try to end the Hurricanes' winning streak in this game.
