Just two teams remain in the NHL playoffs as the Carolina Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights will meet in the 2026 Stanley Cup Final. Both teams rolled through the conference finals, but there should be more fireworks in the final.

After going 12-1 in the first three rounds, the Hurricanes are in their first Stanley Cup Final since 2006, when they won the first championship in franchise history. To this point in the postseason, Carolina’s defense has been a meat grinder that no team has been able to solve. The Canes have surrendered just 21 goals, and they’ve dominated in just about every statistical category. When Carolina has allowed the odd-scoring chance, Frederik Andersen has been there to slam the door with a .931 save percentage and three shutouts.

Offensively, the Canes have been carried by their second line featuring Taylor Hall, Logan Stankoven and Jackson Blake. That trio has combined for 23 goals and 24 assists in just 13 games. That has taken pressure off of bigger stars like Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis, but those two will have to step up against Vegas.

Few teams can match the Hurricanes defensively, but the the Golden Knights are one of them. Over the last two rounds, Vegas has allowed just 20 goals in 10 games, and four of those games were against the Colorado Avalanche. In goal, Carter Hart has caught fire at the right time of year as his save percentage is now up to .922 in the postseason.

In his first season with the Golden Knights, Mitch Marner has had an enormous impact, and he’s one of the biggest reasons his team is in the Stanley Cup Final. Marner leads all playoff performers with 21 points, but Vegas has gotten contributions from up and down the lineup. Brett Howden is tied for the team lead in goals with 10, and defenseman Shea Theodore has chipped in with 11 points.

As the Stanley Cup Final begins, here is the full schedule and broadcast information.

Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar slammed Rajasthan Royals’ management for poor decision-making after the team’s seven-wicket loss to Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2 of IPL 2026 on Friday. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi once again impressed against GT’s fiery bowling attack, smashing 96 off 47 balls. Riding on his knock, RR posted 214/6 in 20 overs. However, the total proved insufficient as Gujarat Titans chased it down in 18.4 overs to book a place in the final. The chief architect of GT’s victory was skipper Shubman Gill, who produced a brilliant knock of 104 off 53 balls.

During RR’s innings, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was forced to retire hurt but later returned to bat, remaining unbeaten on 45 off 35 balls. Manjrekar criticised the Royals for sending Jadeja back in and also questioned their decision to promote pacer Jofra Archer ahead of Donovan Ferreira.

Notably, Ferreira, who came in at No. 8, played a stunning cameo, remaining unbeaten on 38 off just 11 balls. His innings included four sixes and two boundaries.

“Still can’t get over the poor call by RR to put Jadeja back in after he had retired hurt & then have Jofra Archer come before Donovan Ferreira,” wrote Manjrekar on X (formerly Twitter).

After the match, RR skipper Riyan Parag felt his team posted a competitive total against GT, describing the score as defendable.

“It was a par score; it was defendable. I felt that after the heavy roller, it got better in the second innings. In the first innings, the bowlers got some grip, and the slower ones did well. I thought 230 would have been a par score. A score around 240 would have been challenging, but we needed the openers early. It didn’t happen, which became tough for us,” Parag said after the match.

“To sum it up in one sentence, there were many positives. We weren’t supposed to qualify, given that many players were young and inexperienced, but many youngsters performed well and can only improve from here,” he added.

MANILA, Philippines—The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas officially named the four women flying to Warsaw, Poland in July to represent Gilas Pilipinas Women in the Fiba 3×3 Women’s World Cup.

Gilas kept its core of Kacey Dela Rosa, Mikka Cacho and Afril Bernardino intact, plus the returning Camille Clarin.

Clarin just returned after tearing her right ACL back in March of last year during the Fiba 3×3 Asia action against Australia.

Clarin rejoined the national team earlier this month in the 3×3 Women’s Series 2026 in Chengdu.

Unfortunately for Gilas, they weren’t able to qualify for the main draw of the games.

The Philippines clinched a ticket to Warsaw last month when it finished third in the World Cup Qualifiers in Singapore.

MANILA, Philippines—Jaylen Johnson doesn’t seem worried after Rain or Shine was sent to the brink of elimination following a Game 5 loss to Barangay Ginebra on Friday.

The Elasto Painters suffered a 111-104 loss and now trail 2-3 in their semifinals series.

“[My] confidence is still super high. I trust the team and staff,” said the burly reinforcement. “My back has been against the wall all my life. I love this situation. The best things come out of it.”

Johnson left it all on the floor for the Elasto Painters with 22 points and 14 rebounds.

Unfortunately for Rain or Shine, Ginebra just had too much firepower with Justin Brownlee and RJ Abarrientos combining for 63 points.

“We wanted to fight as hard as we could. We didn’t end up how we wanted to but we’re going to fight every time and in the next game, we’ll go get them,” said Johnson.

The Elasto Painters force a do-or-die game on Sunday.
