Ehlers Dents Vegas Early in Hurricanes’ Fast Start

Ehlers strikes twice in the first period, and Carolina comes out throwing haymakers in the Cup Final. A start like this does more than put numbers on the board - it forces Vegas to chase the game before the script has a chance to settle. When a team gets this kind of jump on a stage this big, every bench decision suddenly feels twice as heavy. The Golden Knights are already in a hole, and the next stretch tells you whether this is a wobble or something much worse.
