Summary
Game 2 will open with no confirmed personnel changes after both coaches said the same players from Game 1 are available and expected to dress.
Vegas carries a 1-0 series lead after a 5-4 comeback win in Raleigh, where it erased a 2-0 deficit and stole home-ice advantage from Carolina.
Shea Theodore's 3-point night and Tomas Hertl's late winner drove that opener, while Carolina now needs a tighter defensive effort after allowing five goals for the first time in weeks.
Thursday's game already looms large because teams that win Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final capture the Cup more than three-quarters of the time.
Carolina is trying to earn a split before the series moves to Las Vegas, while Vegas is now just 3 wins from another Stanley Cup.
