Special Teams Could Decide Vegas-Carolina Cup Final

When a Stanley Cup Final gets this tight, the margin usually lives on special teams and not at five-on-five. That is where Vegas and Carolina can tilt the whole series, because one power-play swing or a penalty-kill lapse can change the night before either bench fully understands what happened. The preview from multiple outlets points to that part of the ice as the matchup inside the matchup, and that is usually where finals get decided.
