Hurricanes Seal Game 6 Win — When Was The Last Time Carolina Won The Stanley Cup
The Carolina Hurricanes won Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final on Sunday at T-Mobile Arena, capturing their second Stanley Cup championship in franchise history. For anyone asking when was the last time carolina won the stanley cup, the answer is now tied to that Game 6 finish, after Carolina turned a 3-2 series lead into the title.
Game 6 at T-Mobile Arena
Carolina stifled the Golden Knights in the deciding game and ended the Final before Las Vegas could turn a home game into a championship celebration. The Golden Knights had lost Game 5 and handed Carolina the 3-2 series lead, removing the chance to watch the Knights win the Stanley Cup in person like in 2023.
That shift changed the feel of the matchup immediately. Game 6 was officially sold out on Thursday, but by Saturday afternoon StubHub listings had dropped to a range of $538 to $9,485, a steep move from the $961 to $15,264 range seen before Game 4’s outcome.
Golden Knights Ticket Market
The swing was even clearer when compared with the 2023 Stanley Cup Final, when the Golden Knights won their first championship in Game 5. Thirty minutes before that game began, the average of the 1,208 tickets available was $2,538, with the cheapest ticket at $709.
By the end of the market shift, the average ticket price on TickPick had fallen 48 percent to $1,313, while available tickets jumped to 1,702. Game 5 of that 2023 Final carried an average ticket price of $1,377 on TickPick, and the later inventory increase pushed lower-priced seats into the market.
StubHub Pressure
Jill Gonzalez said Game 6 was tracking as the second-most in-demand home game in Golden Knights history on StubHub, just shy of the all-time franchise high set during the 2023 Cup Final. She added, "Whether it ends up the most expensive game in Golden Knights history will come down to the last 48 hours" and "Last-minute inventory is broadening price points, which is typical for elimination-stakes games."
That market cooled once the Golden Knights lost Game 5, and the title game that followed belonged to Carolina instead. The price spike that once centered on a possible Vegas clincher was gone by Sunday, replaced by a Hurricanes championship and the second Stanley Cup in franchise history.
