Summary
Mitch Marner’s playoff brilliance turned to bitter disappointment as he led Vegas in points with 29 but vanished in the final three games, going just one assist and minus-five as they lost to Carolina. Once the Conn Smythe favorite, he finished with few votes while Carolina’s captain claimed the award. His playoff struggles echo past failures — scoreless in deciding games against Boston last year, minimal impact in the finals before. Yet, he was dominant through the first three rounds, even scoring the fastest hat trick in Cup final history, earning praise as the team’s engine. But under pressure, his offense stalled, and Carolina’s goalie change turned the tide. A tough, stingy ending for a player who carried the team — and still dreams of that elusive championship.
