The Stanley Cup Final<\/a> between the Vegas Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes has made plenty of NHL history through the first three games.<\/p>

Vegas leads 2-1 after blowing a four-goal lead but winning Game 3<\/a> on Saturday night in double overtime.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at Vegas-Carolina by the numbers:<\/p>\n

Stanley Cup Final series over the past 45 years in which each of the first three games was decided by a goal.<\/p>\n

Goals scored by Mitch Marner during a 6:10 stretch in Game 3, the fastest hat trick in the final. Montreal\u2019s Maurice Richard had the previous record at 6:21 in 1957.<\/p>\n

Goals scored by Carolina in 39 seconds, the fastest by a team in the final. The previous record was three in 56 seconds by the Canadiens in 1954.<\/p>\n

Goals by Marner in 19 games during this run with Vegas after scoring 13 in his first 70 playoff games with Toronto.<\/p>

Shifts skated by Vegas defenseman Brayden McNabb in Game 3 for a total of 35:47, two days after taking a puck to the face off an 87.3 mph shot from Carolina\u2019s Nikolaj Ehlers.<\/p>\n

Years since more goals were scored in the first three games of a final. Vegas and Carolina combined for 28, the most since the New York Islanders and Minnesota North Stars scored 30 in Games 1-3 in 1981.<\/p>\n

Points in the second period of Game 3 for Marner, the most in a game in the final since Frank Foyston of the Seattle Metropolitans in 1919. That series was not completed<\/a> and the Stanley Cup not awarded because of the Spanish flu pandemic.<\/p>\n

Year to the date since the last time a Cup final game went to double overtime. Florida beat Edmonton in Game 2 in 2025 on Brad Marchand\u2019s goal on the way to being back-to-back champions.<\/p>\n

Loss in overtime this playoffs for the Hurricanes, who won their previous six. Carolina also fell to 6-1 on the road.<\/p>
