Tuesday night delivers a hockey game that could shift the Stanley Cup Final, a WNBA triple-header fuelled by Commissioner's Cup points, and a full MLB slate to fill in the gaps. Here is what to watch, when it starts, and where to find it.
🏒 Stanley Cup Final Game 4 — Golden Knights vs Hurricanes (8 PM ET, ABC)
The headline act is Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The Vegas Golden Knights lead the Carolina Hurricanes 2-1 after a bruising double-overtime Game 3 thriller on Saturday. A Knights win tonight gives them a commanding 3-1 series lead and puts them one win from their second Stanley Cup. A Hurricanes win levels the series and turns this into a genuinely open contest.
Hurricanes forward Seth Jarvis scored the series-opening overtime goal in Game 2 and has been Carolina's most dangerous weapon in tight periods. Vegas goaltender Adin Hill has been exceptional in overtime situations this postseason. The Golden Knights' penalty kill has held Carolina's power play — one of the most dangerous in the conference — to just one goal across three games.
Watch live on ABC or the ESPN App. If you are outside the US, the game is on SN, CBC and TVAS in Canada.
🏀 WNBA Commissioner's Cup Triple-Header (7 PM ET onwards)
The WNBA's in-season Commissioner's Cup tournament provides three games tonight, all carrying points that affect the bracket for the Cup championship game on June 30.
- Indiana Fever vs Washington Mystics (7:00 PM ET) — Caitlin Clark and the Fever look to build their Commissioner's Cup record. Check your local ESPN affiliate.
- New York Liberty vs Connecticut Sun (7:00 PM ET) — A matchup between two of the Eastern Conference's best, with both teams needing a win to stay in contention for the Cup top seed.
- Seattle Storm vs Las Vegas Aces (10:00 PM ET, ESPN2) — The late-night closer. Las Vegas has the depth to absorb the long trip; Seattle's young core has been impressive so far this season.
The WNBA's expanded deal means most of these games are findable on ESPN, ESPN2, or streaming via ESPN+. Liberty-Sun has drawn some of the largest WNBA viewership numbers of the early season.
⚾ MLB Slate — Tuesday Night Baseball
More than a dozen games are on the board Tuesday, with the early-evening games the best opportunities to catch something competitive.
