Washington’s advantage has led get-in prices to spike over $400 from the early ticket listings. On the contrary, Thursday’s Game 5 has seen a massive drop as the series progressed. Originally priced at over $1,000 before the series began, patrons can now enter the rink at T-Mobile Arena for less than $700 as a Ticket Club member.
Tonight’s Game 4 will serve as a true turning point in the historic series. Should Alex Ovechkin and the Caps rally to win at home, Washington has all the momentum to close out the final victory in Las Vegas. However, if the Golden Knights skate in fine form and level the series at two games apiece, they can wipe the slate clean of their shaky performances the past two games.
Regardless of the outcome, this Stanley Cup Finals promises a spot in the history books. Both teams are in the hunt for their first-ever championship despite some stark differences. The Golden Knights have been the talk of the league all season as the expansion team that cruised to the Stanley Cup Finals in their inaugural season. They earned the top position in the Western Conference after a 51-24 season, led by goalie Marc-Andre Fleury and center Jonathan Marchessault.
The Caps, often denied of a Stanley Cup chance at the hands of conference rival Pittsburgh Penguins, are in their first Finals in 20 years. They hold some of the league’s top scorers in Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov, the perfect offensive power duo to balance Vegas’ defensive strengths.
Despite rising ticket prices, it’s certain that so much history on the line makes this Stanley Cup Finals truly priceless.
