Top hockey and baseball matchups to watch on June 9

The Stanley Cup Final between Carolina and Vegas keeps getting more exciting. The first three games gave fans rare high-scoring action, with a total of 25 goals—the highest since 1981. No previous Final had seen both teams come back from multiple-goal deficits in the first two games. Carolina even erased a four-goal third-period deficit in one of those games.Game 4 tips off at 8 p. m. Eastern in Las Vegas, where the Golden Knights hold a 2-1 series lead. Oddsmakers slightly favor Carolina to even the series, but Vegas remains the betting favorite to win it all. The goaltending battle could decide things—Carolina’s backup goalie stopped 18 of 19 shots in relief last time out, while Vegas leans on its starter for the next game. Beyond hockey, baseball offers three intriguing matchups. The Yankees visit Cleveland in a tight contest where the home team’s pitcher has been on fire lately. The Reds, mired in a five-game losing streak, face a tough Padres lineup in San Diego. Washington hopes to exploit a shaky Giants bullpen and a struggling San Francisco starter.
