Golden Knights' William Karlsson Out for Game 6 as Hurricanes Lead Stanley Cup Final 3-2
Vegas Golden Knights face elimination in Game 6 without key forward William Karlsson, sidelined by a Game 5 injury, potentially missing the rest of the series.
- On Saturday, Vegas Golden Knights coach John Tortorella confirmed center William Karlsson is out for Sunday's Game 6 against the Carolina Hurricanes due to an injury sustained Thursday.
- Karlsson left the ice during the second period of Thursday's game after taking a hit from Carolina defenseman Sean Walker, appearing to injure his arm, wrist, or shoulder.
- "It's obviously a big miss," teammate Mitch Marner said on Saturday, while Teammate Tomas Hertl called Karlsson an "underrated" player in the NHL.
- With Karlsson sidelined, the team may look to veteran forward Brandon Saad or forward Reilly Smith to fill the vacancy, while Tortorella confirmed Carter Hart will start in net.
- Vegas faces elimination for the first time in 2026, trailing the best-of-seven series 3-2, as the Hurricanes have scored 21 goals in five games.
