Staal's Belly-Down Tie-Lift: Hurricanes Even Cup Final in Game 4
TL;DR
Jordan Staal scored twice for the Hurricanes, including a dramatic belly-down goal that tied the Stanley Cup Final at 2-2 after a Seth Jarvis steal and a cross-ice feed from Nikolaj Ehlers, helping Carolina to a 5-3 win over the Vegas Golden Knights and knot the series at 2-2. The 37-year-old captain’s multi-goal performance in four straight Final games has him increasingly in the Conn Smythe conversation, while coaches and teammates praised his leadership and two-way impact as the Hurricanes leaned on him between more skilled linemates as the playoffs continue.
