  • The Vegas Golden Knights struggled offensively and were shut out for the first time in three Stanley Cup Final appearances, while goaltender Carter Hart recorded 20 saves in the loss.
  • Finishing with a 16-3 playoff record, the second-best since the NHL adopted the current format, the Hurricanes won their second championship under coach Rod Brind'Amour, who captained the 2006 title team.
