Records fall, VGK leads 2-1: NHL Stanley Cup Final digest, June 2–8

Vegas Golden Knights lead the 2026 Stanley Cup Final 2-1 after a week that produced three consecutive one-goal games, two all-time records broken in the same period (Mitch Marner's 6:10 SCF hat trick, Carolina's 39-second three-goal burst), and the first SCF double-overtime game since 2002. Marner leads all playoff scorers with 28 points.
