physical presence. He's often out there against the top players on the other side. Theodore snapped it wide hard off the back wall. Chatfield didn't get it up. McNabb for Theodore. NICE MOVE DOWN LOW. THEY SCORE! TIPPED IN BY BRETT HOWDEN. And it's four to three, Vegas. Into the third period, it's Brett Howden. Chatfield doesn't get this puck out and Theodore's nice little move opens up Howden. Three assists for Brayden McNabb, if you will. But Brett Howden's got his 11th of the playoffs. He goes to the net. He deflects it in. And of those 11 goals for Howden, eight of them are on the road and Vegas has a lead.
They'll tell you it's from Chatfield. It was definitely behind the red line. It was a good call on the icing. The puck worked toward THE SLOT. GOSTISBEHERE SCORES! SHAYNE GOSTISBEHERE HAS TIED IT AT FOUR. THEY FEEL THAT THEY WON THE RACE to the puck. GOSTISBEHERE WILL COME IN ON A TIE DRAW. Another goal on the blocker side of Carter Hart. Jordan Staal beat him on the blocker. Shayne Gostisbehere been a very good face-off man in the playoffs, better than 61%. Boy, Sissons was open and Hertl missed him. Or he would have gone in unimpeded.
Three and a half to go. Hertl into the dot to Sissons. BACK FOR HERTL. HE SCORES! TOMAS HERTL. AND IT'S FIVE FOUR, VEGAS, WITH 3:24 TO GO. Below the goal line for Vegas and they're able to cycle the puck around and score. Really great work by Hurdle TO GET THAT PUCK FIRST. He and Sissons are GOING TO CYCLE AND EXCHANGE POSITIONS. CAROLINA plays a man-on-man defense. If you get beat out of the corner, you cannot deny the slot. Ghost is buried beat by Hurdle and Hurdle who's come alive has given Vegas a 5-4 lead.
Sissons better than 70% of the playoffs lost it Stastny over Mosey. THE KINGS HAD A DRIVE FROM THE CORNER. HALL TRIED TO THROW IT ON NET. THE VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS WIN GAME ONE in dramatic fashion. Their seventh straight win in these playoffs. 5-4 is the final.
