Editor's note: the picks below come from Vegas, not us. Only tonight's marquee game carries a line for now. For the full slate, live odds, and every game we are tracking, head to watch.uristocrat.com.
It's a championship Saturday. Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final headlines a stacked day, with the Hurricanes and Golden Knights tied at a game apiece and the series now in the desert. Around it sits a four-game WNBA card, a full MLB Saturday, and a UFC Fight Night. Here's what to watch.
Marquee: Carolina Hurricanes at Vegas Golden Knights, Stanley Cup Final Game 3 (8:00 PM ET, ABC)
The Final is 1-1 and it has earned the hype. Vegas took Game 1 5-4, then Carolina answered with a 4-3 overtime win in Game 2 to steal back the split. Now the series shifts to Vegas, where the Golden Knights hold home ice. The catch: the Hurricanes have not lost on the road this postseason. Carolina is the favorite to lift the Cup, but Vegas at home in a Game 3 is exactly the spot that swings a series. Whoever wins tonight controls it.
Vegas line: Golden Knights -112, Hurricanes -108 on the moneyline, a near pick'em. Total 5.5 goals (over -125). Source: ESPN.
