Per NHL Stats, His road total for playoff goals is now 10, three shy of the league record set last year, set by Sam Bennett.
On the road, Howden is equally as effective. He scored in each of the first two games in Carolina this series.
Brett Howden has been a goal machine during the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Golden Knights forward leads the playoffs with 14 goals, a franchise record.
Given the chaotic nature of this series, I would not be surprised if another lead is erased tonight.
The seven combined tying goals trail only 1946 (11), 1982 (9), 2025 (8), 2018 (8), 2015 (8), 2010 (8), 1973 (8) and 1951 (8) for the NHL’s most through the first five contests in a championship series.
Per NHL Stats, all four contests in the championship series so far have featured a multi-goal lead being erased, highlighted by the Hurricanes storming back from a 4-0 third-period deficit to force overtime in Game 3.
No lead is safe in this Stanley Cup Final. But the level of volatility and multi-goal leads being erased between the Vegas Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes is downright historic.
The Golden Knights don’t have that many other options in goal. So it is Hart for now, unless he really unravels and coach John Tortorella has no other choice.
Carter Hart is struggling in this series. Through four games, he’s given up a combined 17 goals. He is the first goalie ever to give up four-or-more goals in each Stanley Cup Final game to start a series.
As much as the Carolina Hurricanes have had a revolving door in net, it’s not like the Vegas Golden Knights have been much better.
To think that Bussi went undrafted and now is in line to be the goaltender for the Hurricanes, two games from winning the Stanley Cup, is phenomenal. He would seek to become the first goaltender to win his first two career playoff starts in the Stanley Cup Final.
If Brandon Bussi is the starter tonight in Game 5, it would be a historic moment in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
