Back to EpisodesRESILIENCE: VGK comes back from a three-goal deficit, looks to end series Tuesday
Description
The Golden Knights rallied from a three-goal deficit for the first ever in the playoffs to pull off a comeback win over the Avs 5-3 to put themselves a win away from the Stanley Cup Final. VGK erased the 3-0 first period lead by tilting the ice in the second. They finished off a power play opportunity in the period on a Marner to Stone connection. William Karlsson and Keegan Kolesar also potted their first goal of the playoffs. There was a contraversial play in the first period that could have cut the margin to a goal behind for VGK, but a Pavel Dorofeyev goal was waived off on a apparant hand pass, according to the refs after a review. VGK took the lead for good in the third as Tomas Hertl scored on a nifty backhander and Brett Howden put the finishing touch with an ENG. VGK's depth contributed to the win. Mark Stone, who returned from injury, scored. Tomas Hertl had a goal and an assist. Five players had two points for the Golden Knights. The Avs injuries are mounting. Cale Makar returned after a two-game absence but struggled to shoot the puck with a shoulder injury. Nathan MacKinnon blocked a shot off his knee and was hobbled. Val Nichushkin was injured and missed time in the game. For VGK, Cole Smith injured his left wrist or arm when he ws checked into the boards and potentially can be out of the lineup Tuesday.
