1. Shot speed<\/p>\n

Jarvis scored the overtime goal on the power play against the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final to even the best-of-7 championship series 1-1. Jarvis, who had previously been held to three goals over his first 14 games of the postseason, has had strong underlying metrics all postseason and showed signs of being a difference-maker after being moved to the second line with Nikolaj Ehlers<\/a> and Jordan Staal<\/a> in Game 2.<\/p>\n

Jarvis\u2019 overtime goal in Game 2 of the Cup Final clocked in at 80.05 mph, marking his second 80-plus mph goal of the postseason, tied for the second most in the NHL behind Dylan Guenther<\/a> of the Utah Mammoth (three). His other 80-plus mph goal came against the Philadelphia Flyers in Game 2 of the second round (84.76), the hardest shot resulting in a goal by any Carolina skater this postseason. Jarvis has had three of the top six hardest shots resulting in goals by Hurricanes players during the 2026 playoffs (also scored 79.75-mph goal in Game 1 against Montreal Canadiens during Eastern Conference Final).<\/p>\n

Jarvis also ranks highly in other shot speed categories this postseason; he is 11th among forwards in 80-plus mph shot attempts during the playoffs (10) and ranks in the 95th percentile among forwards in 70-plus mph shot attempts (17).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1.
