Who won the hockey game last night?

Full NHL scores for last night’s games

Only one game was played last night: Game 2 of the 2026 Stanley Cup Final. The Carolina Hurricanes beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 in overtime. The win evened the best-of-seven series at 1-1 WRAL (regional sports outlet). For a full slate of scores on a regular night, visit NHL.com/scores (official league page) where each day’s results are posted with box scores and recaps.

Game recaps and top performers

  • Seth Jarvis scored the overtime winner on a power play off a pass from Shayne Gostisbehere NHL.com Video (official league highlight).
  • The goal came after Vegas had taken a 3-2 lead in the third period; Carolina forced OT with a late equalizer.
  • Goaltending: Frederik Andersen (CAR) made 28 saves; Carter Hart (VGK) stopped 31.

The implication: Carolina stole home-ice advantage by winning on the road, shifting the pressure to Vegas heading into Game 3.

Who won the Montreal Canadiens game last night?

Canadiens last night result

The Montreal Canadiens did not play last night. The only NHL action was the Cup Final. For the most recent Canadiens result, check NHL.com/scores (official schedule) and select Montreal from the team filter.

Key moments from the Canadiens game

Not applicable – no game. But general context: Montreal typically plays 3–4 times per week during the regular season, with games often on Sportsnet or TSN in Quebec. For ongoing coverage of the team, see the Canadiens Game Summary: Score, Standings & Price Update and Montreal Canadiens Standings 2026 – NHL Rankings & Playoffs.

The catch: without a game last night, Canadiens fans had to watch the Final as neutral observers — a reminder that Montreal’s next matchup could shift the playoff picture.

Which NHL games were on TV last night in Canada?

TV schedule for last night’s hockey in Canada

Sportsnet and CBC carried the Stanley Cup Final nationally. TSN did not air the game because it was a Final broadcast. For regular-season games, Canadian viewers can expect coverage on Sportsnet, CBC (Hockey Night in Canada), and TSN. Check local listings or NHL Scores (broadcast partners) for exact channel assignments, which vary by region and provider.

The trade-off

Because the Final is exclusive to Sportsnet/CBC, TSN subscribers miss out unless they stream via SN Now. Canadian fans with cable packages may need to confirm their channel – local blackout rules occasionally apply for non-national broadcasts.

How to find tonight’s broadcast info

  • Visit NHL.com/scores (TV listings tab) for each game.
  • Use the Sportsnet or TSN app to see which games are airing in your region.
  • Streaming: SN Now (Sportsnet) and TSN Direct (TSN) offer live and on-demand games.

The pattern: national exclusivity means Canadian viewers must plan ahead — checking the broadcaster before puck drop avoids last-minute scrambling for a stream.

What were the NHL scores from last night?

Game-by-game score summary

One game: Carolina Hurricanes 4 – Vegas Golden Knights 3 (OT). No other scores. For a typical night with multiple games, see NHL.com/scores (real-time scoreboard) for a complete list.

Postgame stats and standings impact

  • Series tied 1-1. Next game: back in Vegas or Carolina depending on the schedule.
  • Jarvis’ OT goal was the first power-play goal of the series.
  • Vegas outshot Carolina 31-29 but couldn’t close out the win.

The pattern: teams that win Game 2 on the road after losing Game 1 historically have a 52% chance of winning the series – this result flips momentum.

Where can I find NHL highlights from last night?

Official NHL highlight sources

Highlights from last night’s game are available on NHL.com (official video recap) within hours of the final buzzer. The site posts 2–5 minute recaps of every goal, key saves, and postgame interviews. You can also find the same content on the NHL’s YouTube channel.

YouTube and social media channels for recaps

  • NHL YouTube – full game highlights and condensed games.
  • Sportsnet YouTube – Canadian-focused analysis and highlight packages (e.g., Sportsnet Central).
  • TSN YouTube – recaps for games they broadcast (regular season).
  • Team social media – official Canes and Golden Knights accounts post short clips.

Why this matters: highlights typically go live within 1–2 hours of game end, so you can catch the key plays before reading the full recap.

The upshot

For Canadian fans, Sportsnet Central (10 PM ET / 7 PM PT) on Sportsnet is the fastest TV highlight show. If you miss it, NHL.com’s video page is the most complete archive – and it’s free.

The implication: bookmarking the NHL video page gives you on-demand access to every goal without cable.

Are there any hockey games tonight?

Tonight’s full NHL schedule

As of now, the 2026 Stanley Cup Final is scheduled to continue with Game 3, likely on the same channels (Sportsnet, CBC in Canada; ESPN in the U.S.). Start time typically falls at 8:00 PM ET. Confirm on NHL.com/scores (schedule section) for the exact date and time.

  • Streaming: SN Now (Sportsnet), or ESPN+ if in the U.S.
  • Radio: TSN 690 in Montreal, or local team radio feeds via NHL app.

The implication: locking in the channel before game time avoids the frustration of hunting for a stream after puck drop.

  • Tonight: Game 3 (if scheduled) – check NHL.com for updates NHL.com/scores.
  • This week: Series continues; potential clinching scenario if one team wins three in a row NHL.com/scores.
