The Golden Knights faced a controversial no-goal call in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Carolina Hurricanes on June 4, 2026. Late in the third period, while tied 2-2, a potential goal was waved off by officials, with the Golden Knights subsequently losing a challenge to overturn the decision. The ruling stemmed from a rare NHL rule indicating that the play may be ruled stopped before the puck crosses the goal line. Following the failed challenge, the Golden Knights entered a penalty kill situation and the Hurricanes scored a goal before the Golden Knights managed to tie the game and force overtime.
