00:00Hey, it's James Szebulski for EA Sports, and we're in Vegas, baby.
00:14The Golden Knights are on home ice.
00:21It's about to go down.
00:23The Golden Knights win the draw, and they'll start on the attack.
00:33Works it across to Martin.
00:35Big time block on the play.
00:37Well, he's doing what it takes, James.
00:38And listen, Coach is going to love that one.
00:40I expect to see him out here again.
00:43Koopman's moving the puck through his own zone.
00:50Solid chip to slow down.
00:53Vegas gains a hold of possession.
00:57Gains the zone through center.
00:59Quick shot!
01:00Gives him nothing in front.
01:02You don't make the save if you're not dialed in and focused.
01:04That's exactly what he is.
01:05He's following the puck and just makes that save.
01:08It's incredible, really, because you've got to be athletic to be able to react that quickly.
01:13Makes a move, and the puck hops away from him.
01:18Vegas has it near the wall.
01:21Through center.
01:22Sends it to the middle.
01:26Go, go, go, go, go.
01:29Go, go, go, go.
01:30Go, go, go, go, go, go.
01:34Nice beat from the left side up the middle.
01:36Beat to the middle.
01:37And that's stuck.
01:39And he avoids the poke camp with some great edge work.
01:44Gifts up the body for the ball.
01:46Go, go, go, go, go.
01:47Oh, he's got a counter on it.
01:48And he gets over to the wall.
01:51Make it three in a row.
01:52Puck moved over to Lazard.
01:55Here's a short pass to Doan.
01:59And he kicks in front of the back.
02:01The Bourbon Knights have it against the wall.
02:03Carson's got the puck in his own zone.
02:07Pass in front.
02:09And that doesn't connect.
02:11And he puts that one aside with ease.
02:13And he's falling to the edge.
02:15And he puts that one aside with ease.
02:17DeHaan's made a fantastic play with James.
02:19And he's falling to the ice.
02:20He's got the puck on his stick.
02:21And he still has the ability to lower that bottom hand
02:23and find a way to redirect the puck to the net.
02:26I mean, that's tenacity.
02:27That's courage in finding a way to compete
02:29and will your way to the net.
02:33Scooped up along the wall by Hannafin.
02:35Bank pass off the boards.
02:38St. Petersburg's looking to break out of their own end.
02:42Here they come on the attack.
02:45Dishes it off.
02:47Feeds it over.
02:51Bluffs saying.
02:54Goaltender covers it up.
02:56We get a whistle to slow things down.
02:58Still lots of time left in the period.
03:02Still no score in this one.
03:04Turtles won the face off.
03:07Slides a diagonal leap to Stone.
03:10Here we go.
03:11A man rush.
03:12Steps up with the block.
03:13Passes it to Koston.
03:15The Golden Knights scoop it up along the boards.
03:17They're picking up steam through the neutral zone.
03:19Offside the call.
03:20We'll get a reset.
03:21And both centers glide into the dot as a face offset to resume.
03:31The Bears win possession here in the open ice.
03:32Middle, middle, middle.
03:33Great positioning by the defender.
03:34Mosa quickly over to Hutton.
03:35Gets in front of him.
03:36St. Petersburg's got a hold of it against the wall.
03:37And that banks off a stick.
03:38Quick feed to Obey Covell.
03:39Quick feed down low.
03:40Yeah.
03:41Yeah.
03:42Yeah.
03:43Yeah.
03:45And both centers glide into the dot as a face offset to resume.
03:47The Bears win possession here in the open ice.
03:48Middle, middle, middle.
03:49Great positioning by the defender.
03:51Moussa quickly over to Hutton.
03:53Gets in front of him.
03:55St. Petersburg's got a hold of it against the wall.
03:58And that banks off a stick.
04:00Quick feed to Obey Cabell.
04:03Quick feed down low.
04:07From the boards, he takes that pass.
04:10Makes a shot!
04:11Oh, a huge shot!
04:13And it was locked in on that save as play continues.
04:16Wow, James, has he ever dialed in
04:18in that sequence of saves?
04:20I mean, one, two, multiple saves here.
04:22His D's gotta help him out.
04:25Sissons explores his options in the corner.
04:29The Bears will play the puck from behind the net.
04:32Trying to engage a little physicality.
04:34Broken up in the neutral zone by McNabb.
04:38Takes it to the net!
04:40Denied!
04:41And through the chaos, they score!
04:43Oh, it's chaos. It sure is.
04:45But this is gonna get waved off.
04:46Look at all the bodies in front.
04:48This is definitely goaltender interference.
04:49Well, they obviously didn't like the call, but not a lot of time to dwell on it as we are ready to get play back underway.
05:15Vegas wins the draw in the neutral zone.
05:20Knocks the puck loose after a solid hit.
05:22And it takes the pass.
05:25Theodore is stick-handling in his own zone.
05:31And now it's grabbed by Stone.
05:38D'Angelo's taking it from his own end.
05:43Moves it to Stone.
05:45Stopped by Subban!
05:47Great positioning by the goaltender to redirect it to the corner, getting it out of danger.
05:52Handles the puck at the point.
05:57What a great read breaking up the pass.
06:00Knocked away by D'Angelo.
06:02Loses his balance on the play.
06:05Picked up along the boards by Torpiav.
06:07And the goaltender comes up with a piece of it to keep it out of the net.
06:11Bluvan's found his rhythm here as we look at that last save.
06:17I mean, he has to be so on the mark right now.
06:21Too positioned to be able to make it.
06:22His read is perfect.
06:23He's tracking well.
06:24We have to be quick and athletic to make that one.
06:28That's the midway mark in this period.
06:35We're still scoreless.
06:41Heifer's got it.
06:42Now they'll look to see what they can do with it offensively.
06:46Grabbed along the board by Whitecloud.
06:49And now he moves it to Barbashev.
06:52Smart heads up play to intercept the pass.
06:55Huge steal at his own end.
06:58Gains the zone from the right side.
07:02Trying to come up with a huge defensive play to get this puck out of his own end.
07:06There's the whistle icing the call.
07:08Big face off looming.
07:14Teams are ready to go and we're about moments away from puck drop.
07:21Vegas wins the draw.
07:22Now let's see what they can do with it.
07:24The coach and team reminding each other that this is a critical face off.
07:28Any time you've got your opponent on their heels, after an icing, you have to find a way to have urgency and attack.
07:41Sunfist won the draw deep in the defensive zone.
07:44Quick pass to Mott.
07:45Picked up along the wall by Duhayne.
07:53Here's a short pass to Mott.
07:56Here's a game in front.
07:58Picked off in front.
08:01And they'll dump it in.
08:05Vegas will try to make something happen here in the offensive zone.
08:08Subban's going to hang on for a whistle.
08:11Go, let's go!
08:15Go, let's go!
08:18Go, let's go!
08:22Offenses don't face off and he wins the draw.
08:25Great save by the goaltender to get a pat on that one.
08:29Keeping the puck out of the net.
08:30This is a fantastic save, James.
08:33He's all over it.
08:34What I mean by that is he knows exactly where it is and where it's moving.
08:37The reason why he can get square to it and make the save.
08:40And he slides it quickly to draw up the air.
08:44Good reach for the stick to knock the puck away.
08:47Lose it quickly over to Koopman.
08:50Gaining momentum in the offensive end.
08:52Down, home!
08:53Puck scooped up by Emerson.
08:55Oh, lose the shot!
08:58And that goes off course off of Hottie.
09:01Great defensive effort breaking up the pass.
09:06Here's an opportunity to clear the zone.
09:08And his teammate comes up with it.
09:11Handles the pass.
09:14Vegas has it against the half wall.
09:17Denied by the defender.
09:19Quick feed to Obey Cubell.
09:21The Golden Knights look to start the transition game.
09:27A little crash and a baby forced the turnover.
09:31Stop that one.
09:33And now he moves it quickly to Koston.
09:35Tick it along the wall by Van Denning.
09:39Down the right wing and into the offensive zone.
09:43Slides it up front.
09:45And he makes the save.
09:47Scooped up along the wall by Schinemann.
09:49Huge play in his own end to come up with the puck.
09:53Taken by Torrison.
09:55Avoids the poke check and maintains possession.
10:00Moves with the puck at the corner.
10:03Here he is on the tip.
10:04And too much traffic in front blocks that one.
10:12Icing is the call.
10:14We'll get a face-up at the other end.
10:15Getting into the later stages of this period.
10:22The game is still scoreless.
10:28Back underway as he wins the draw inside the offensive zone.
10:32Gets in front of the shot.
10:34Shuts it down.
10:36Oh, another great save right there.
10:38Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
10:41Just a smirking attack here in the offensive end.
10:44And listen to this play slide up.
10:46One shot.
10:48And that's what it is.
10:49What a big-time save right there.
10:52And they'll skate it out of the zone.
10:55Here they come in the rush.
10:57To his teammate.
11:00And that's deflected.
11:02Vegas takes possession along the wall.
11:04The Golden Knights get a hold of the puck.
11:09Here's the pass to the middle.
11:11And it shuts down a great scoring chance there.
11:17He's last save was outstanding.
11:19He knew exactly where that puck was going to go.
11:21That's anticipation at its finest to be able to get to the right spot,
11:25know where that puck was coming from,
11:26and make a high-grade A-sit.
11:28Some last second communication before
11:37both teams get ready to drop the puck here.
11:42The first just gets chopped and here back underway here.
11:48And he takes the dish.
11:51From the left side, they enter the attacking zone.
11:53Oh, he got rocks right over the bench.
11:56Well, he knew he was going to take some extra juice there
11:59because he was right around the bench,
12:00but now he's in it, James.
12:02That's a tough one.
12:03You've got to put the tail between your legs,
12:04get out, and get back on the ice.
12:07Slides it back to the blue line.
12:10Less than a minute to go here in the opening frame.
12:13Oh, the home team is wheeling here inside the defensive zone,
12:17and the fans are nervous.
12:19Gives it to Sontest.
12:21Another pass.
12:23Oh, big hit on the plate.
12:26Tastes the puck here.
12:28And it's a shot.
12:29That's blocked.
12:30Shot for the court.
12:32And that's blocked in traffic.
12:34Oh, what a collision.
12:36And that's blocked in traffic.
12:39And they steal it out of the danger zone.
12:42And there's the buzzer,
12:44much to the benefit of those defenders
12:46who look absolutely exhausted.
12:49They'll get a breather,
12:50as we all will here with this clean sheet of ice.
12:53Period number two,
12:54just around the corner.
12:56That's the burning reminder
12:57of tonight's silent auction.
12:59All items can be viewed in the world
13:01as a display here at the guest services counter.
13:04And that's the basic,
13:04the fountain of ice.
13:06The montage done.
13:07And the other one will see
13:09that showed with people
13:11whoo hug each other all in the world
13:12because of how they illuminated them.
13:14And the voicemail has been
13:16given that the vision of this
13:28first entry has been
16:31Action has resolved here in period number two.
16:34Still looking for that first goal in this one.
16:36Let's get the talent and Cheryl Ponder back into this one.
16:38What do you make of the first 20 minutes of action?
16:40Vegas own that first period and all of the analytics will tell you that it's going to come.
16:44But sometimes that's not good enough for players who are getting a ton of chances.
16:48But eventually it will go in.
16:49But they've got to continue with that attack mentality, drive the paint, and not be afraid to get dirty in those blue paint areas.
16:56The Bears play it along the wing.
17:00Vegas gets a hold of the puck against the boards.
17:04Angles it over to Marner.
17:06The Bears have it from their own end.
17:13From the defensive zone, they move the puck around.
17:17He's waiting on his first ball, James, but if the puck stays on his stick like it is tonight, he's sure of fire to find the way to the back of the net.
17:24He grabs the puck and looks to make something happen.
17:33Vegas with possession in their own zone.
17:37Can't hear steam here on the back.
17:40Gets a piece of it to keep it out.
17:42And a great scene.
17:45And he slides it quickly to Lozod.
17:51Vegas gets the puck near the boards.
17:54The Golden Knights, they're playing in their own end.
17:58And he takes the feed.
18:01The Bears take it along the wall.
18:08Takes the shot.
18:09And it fakes off a stick in traffic.
18:12The Golden Knights move the puck in the defensive zone.
18:16They fight for it along the boards.
18:21Looks to make a play over to Lozod.
18:24Now a quick pass to Sundquist.
18:26Good use for the puck.
18:27He did not come off the puck.
18:30Tries to feed it over to Howden.
18:33Right up the gut into the offensive end.
18:36Oh, it gets a blocker out of West.
18:38St. Louis.
18:38St. Louis.
18:38And he loses control of the puck.
18:42St. Petersburg stay in possession.
18:44Sends it over to Mott.
18:47And now they look to make something happen from the neutral zone.
18:51Delighted penalty loading.
18:53Wessel long-stopping the play.
18:56Dorothea has been flagged for cross-checking.
18:59When you elect to cross-check, you're sending a message to your opponent.
19:02But if the official is there, guess what?
19:04You're going to march your way to the box.
19:05St. Petersburg sending their power play unit out for the first time tonight.
19:20First power play of the game.
19:21And an opportunity to go up by one.
19:24And analytics will tell you, when you score first, chances are you win the game.
19:28The Bears get a hold of the puck along the boards.
19:34Obey Kubels got him along the wing.
19:39Takes the puck as the clock ticks down on the penalty kill.
19:42And they get that puck down the ice.
19:46St. Petersburg's got it from behind the net.
19:50Through the open ice, they're picking up steam.
19:54Obey Kubels got the puck.
19:58And he takes the feed.
20:02Turns out of the line.
20:04Hill's able to put that puck to the corner.
20:06And it really keeps the puck out of harm's way.
20:08No second shot opportunity.
20:15St. Petersburg's got the puck.
20:18Obey Kubels lugging the puck.
20:20And that's out of reach and out of the offensive zone.
20:30And there's the save on the play.
20:33Scrum ensues along the boards.
20:37Up along the wing.
20:41Passes out front.
20:42Can't get the shot off.
20:45With the stop.
20:47An attempt to clear the puck from deep inside his own end.
20:52St. Petersburg's got it behind the net.
20:54D'Angelo's got it in the defensive end.
20:58Here's the pass down low.
20:59Oh, they telegraphed the pass.
21:02And he picks it off.
21:04And that's a solid clearing attempt on the play.
21:11Dorofeyev's almost back on the ice.
21:18St. Petersburg's got it in their own zone.
21:21Dorofeyev's out of the box.
21:22And both sides are back to even strength.
21:24Body language says it all, James.
21:26Have a look at the unit here.
21:28Every single one of them deflated.
21:29They know that they needed to score.
21:31And this is the expectation of the power play.
21:34And they go back to the bench with their heads facing their skates.
21:38Straight up the middle.
21:39Here they come.
21:44Moves it to D'Angelo.
21:47Looking to make something happen along the boards.
21:50And that slides right out to center ice.
21:53And he sidesteps the check there.
21:56Kicked up along the boards by Duhayv.
21:59No room for that one to get through.
22:03Open to Bears.
22:04Got the puck from the back end.
22:06Oh, I thought he was going to be beaten.
22:08And he somehow got a piece of that.
22:11Through the neutral zone.
22:12Moving the puck along the side.
22:14Here we go.
22:15Pucks in deep.
22:16The Bears have it now.
22:18Yeah, I hear you.
22:20Sends the pass over.
22:25Here's a chance.
22:27And that one's turned away.
22:30The Golden Knights take it along the wing.
22:33Puck picked up by Obey Kubel.
22:36The Bears carry it along the wall.
22:39Grabbed along the boards by Fauré Goulet.
22:41Good shot.
22:42Oh, he gets a little piece of it.
22:45And keeps it out of the net.
22:47Just an amazing capacity crowd here once again.
22:50Another sellout for this franchise.
22:52And it really just tells you that this has become one of the elite franchises in the league.
22:57Yeah, I mean, you'd want to play here if you were still playing, hey?
22:59And, you know, you want to be part of something like this.
23:05You know, the energy and the welding.
23:06And it's a winning culture, right?
23:08When you're getting people out night after night at the concessions, wearing the jersey,
23:12you know, bleeding the colors, it's all happening and it feels pretty good.
23:16There's the whistle.
23:17We got an offside.
23:21More than half the period has expired.
23:24Still scoreless in this one.
23:26He said he said I was tired with his weight.
23:32Boothman's quick stick lands from the puck here at center.
23:35And it's a quick pass to Wallstrom.
23:39Headman pass.
23:41Quick pass to Gilbert.
23:43St. Petersburg's at the line.
23:48Here's a short pass to Wallstrom.
23:50Great save with the stick.
23:53Reft opens the whistle as the puck's covered up.
23:56Official signals for the players to get into position and we're about ready to drop the puck.
24:10The Golden Knights take possession off the faceoff.
24:13Picking up some steam at center ice.
24:15Tired this lot.
24:18Blocked a save and he's shown a big time tonight.
24:22The blast makes another stop.
24:25On the sequence of saves, I love how he's strong.
24:27He is in his set position and Garrett James.
24:29You can see that he gets squared to the shooter and that makes the second save easier.
24:32Play resumes here as he wins the draw inside the offensive zone.
24:44Gaining speed to center and here they come on the attack.
24:49Esselmont's got it against the boards.
24:52Walks the line here.
24:55Receives the pass.
24:56St. Petersburg's got it near the fourth.
25:01Along the wing up the neutral zone.
25:04Dumps the puck in.
25:06The Bears gain possession.
25:09St. Petersburg's got the puck in the defensive end.
25:13With possession along the wall.
25:18Vegas plays it along the boards.
25:19Pucks up along the wall by Emerson.
25:29Pucks and down the ice.
25:30We'll get an icing.
25:36More than half the frame has been played here.
25:38Still looking for our first goal.
25:42They win the draw and go on to the top.
25:45Steps in front of the shot.
25:48They've got numbers here.
25:50Oh, and here's the pass.
25:53And that's broken up with a stick in front.
25:56Moves it quickly over to Kolasar.
25:58From the right wing, he moves it to the middle.
26:01Left side made by Subban.
26:03There's the whistle.
26:04We'll get a face-off after the goalie covers up.
26:10Play ready to resume as everybody lines in for the face-off.
26:13The Golden Knights win the draw.
26:20Oh, you'll win respect for your teammates doing that.
26:23What a block.
26:26Moves the puck into the attacking area.
26:28That's some smart heads up defense of play by Hennepin.
26:34The Golden Knights pick up steam and are on the attack.
26:38Tick toes around the punch-up.
26:40Picked off by Lausanne.
26:42Scoops up the puck here.
26:44Look out.
26:45Here they come on the attack.
26:47Moves the puck along the half wall.
26:49Takes a shot.
26:50Oh, right off the cage.
26:54St. Petersburg's got the puck along the boards.
26:57Oh, that's a great shot block there.
26:59Well, yeah, I mean, it's a great-A scoring chance,
27:01and you want to make sure that you get in front of that one,
27:03and he gets all of it.
27:05We've got a penalty coming up here on the play.
27:08That goes off its wing.
27:10There's the whistle, and here's the goal.
27:13D'Angelo's going off for interference.
27:16When your opponent doesn't have the puck,
27:18you can't interfere with their forward progress.
27:21Too much.
27:21You can shoot our element, James.
27:23But that's over the top.
27:31And the manager, James, comes out to lower work.
27:35The best power play in the league is going to get an opportunity
27:38to get to work, get the go-ahead goal here, James.
27:41Not ideal for their approval.
27:43That's going to be a call, James.
27:44That's definitely a penalty.
27:45The Bears will lose a man, tripping the call.
27:49You have to constantly remind yourself to move your feet
27:51and get closer to the action.
27:53You wind up reaching, you take the feet out of your opponent,
27:55and you wind up with a tripping call.
27:59From the left side, he moves it up ahead.
28:01It's amazing to me how he always looks like he's in the right position
28:12because he tracks and reads the play so well,
28:17and this time he gets in front of the puck that's right in the middle of the ice
28:31as the shooter's got a dangerous opportunity.
28:33Carlson's ready to take the draw here on this power play.
28:37A chance to get it out of the defensive zone.
28:41And that's one way to help kill off this penalty as they get the puck out, Cheryl.
28:45Well, when you're on the PK unit, you have to be able to anticipate.
28:48They do just that.
28:49They're able to retrieve the puck and fire it down the ice.
28:51Makes no mistake on the clear, James.
28:53Hard and heavy on the stick.
28:54The Bears get a hold of the puck under man.
29:00Blushed away by Subban.
29:02That's a great save, but the goaltender had to get out to the...
29:05Oh, how did he keep that one out?
29:08What a save.
29:10Subban's made a desperation save.
29:11I don't even know how he got to that one, but he did.
29:16The goaltender, they have to have talent.
29:18They have to have mobility.
29:19They have to be able to track the puck,
29:20but they have to have a willingness to find it
29:23and fight for any second shot.
29:25And that's exactly what happens here.
29:26Out battling, outwheeling, and you make the save.
29:31Eichel's ready for the draw on this man advantage.
29:40The Golden Knights were in the front side.
29:43Beast!
29:44So look at the reaction of the Aces boost in the season
29:48and his teammates look just as well.
29:51We don't ask how it goes in, James,
29:54just if it goes in.
29:56But this is one of those goals
29:57that's all about the effort areas,
29:59the hard work, and the timing
30:00to get to the rebound first.
30:15The Golden Knights deserve a lot of credit here
30:17breaking through with the first goal.
30:19They didn't get frustrated.
30:20They just stayed with the game here, Cheryl.
30:22Well, and they needed to, James,
30:24because they've had an effective game.
30:25I've liked the way they've played.
30:26They've been aggressive.
30:27They've hounded bucks.
30:28They've had the majority of shots,
30:30and they've finally capitalized.
30:33Come off the wall and onto the stick.
30:36Oh, look at this!
30:39Shot!
30:40And that carries off a body in the lane.
30:42And now he tries to get it across to Varner.
30:48And Varner's stoppage on the way
30:51as the goaltender covers things up.
30:54Wow, James.
30:55I mean, not everyone can elicit a thunderous hit like that.
30:58I mean, he just clobbered his opponent.
31:00Christ!
31:01Christ!
31:02Christ!
31:02Christ!
31:03Christ!
31:04Christ!
31:06Christ!
31:09Carlson said to face on top.
31:11Rip to win this draw.
31:12The Man of Hot Air.
31:14Christ!
31:15Christ!
31:16Angus goes to work in the offensive zone.
31:22And took that one of them.
31:24Subban's been outstanding tonight.
31:26James, I mean, he's made the saves.
31:27He's had to and really given his team an opportunity to win.
31:30You can't ask them more than that.
31:32Off a stick and they can't connect.
31:35Passes over to Gilbert.
31:38And wins the goal check.
31:40Moves the pass in front.
31:41Obey Kubel's almost ready to get back on the ice.
31:49Big time stop there.
31:51Obey Kubel's out of the box.
31:52He owes a lot of credit to that penalty killing unit.
31:55Well, the PK does a great job.
31:57And when you kill a penalty, you create momentum.
31:59Great start there.
32:02And less than a minute to go here in the middle frame.
32:05The Golden Knights in position along the wall.
32:13Stuck by the goaltender.
32:16Takes it out of the wall by Stone.
32:18And a hook check knocks the puck away.
32:21Obey Kubel here in the neutral zone.
32:24And he tried hand on up without hit.
32:26There's the buzzer.
32:34Two periods down.
32:35One more to go.
32:36They always say three is the magic number.
32:39We've got period number three next.
32:41And it's only able to get the seat you want to the game you want
32:44by purchasing one of our six game ticket tickets today.
32:47And it's only able to get the seat you want to the game.
33:17Go, go, go!
33:42ю!
35:44But it's right on them.
35:45You can feel it's on their stick, James.
35:47It's just a matter of getting another one.
35:50The Golden Knights have it against the wall.
35:53Tosses it on to Marner.
35:54Here they come on the attack.
35:58Takes a shot.
36:00Turns it away.
36:02The Bears have it now.
36:04Sends it quickly for Kupin.
36:06Tosses move to the middle.
36:08Oh, he comes up with a stop.
36:10Slides the puck down low.
36:12What a steal in his own end.
36:14Vegas has been in great position all night long.
36:17They've got their legs under them as well.
36:19They're working hard.
36:19Their coach will be impressed.
36:21Stops the cold.
36:23And that's knocked away.
36:25Puck grabbed by Kupin.
36:27Quick feed to Wallstrom.
36:29And now it's grabbed by Kupin.
36:34Puts it on there.
36:36Oh, how did he stop that?
36:38What a save.
36:38By Hill.
36:40Here they are on the attack.
36:43Oh, what a save in front.
36:45The key to being a great goaltender
36:46is not giving up second shot opportunities
36:48and it's playing the rebounds to the corner.
36:50He does an excellent job here.
36:53Right up the gun.
36:54Here they go.
36:56Merson to Wallstrom.
37:01Oh, great play to use the wall.
37:02Handling the pass.
37:04Big save by the goaltender.
37:10Marner's been dancing with the puck on his stick
37:12all night long here.
37:13I really feel like he's been a driver of play.
37:16He's had multiple good looks on net
37:17and finally capitalizes.
37:19Love that he didn't get frustrated.
37:21Love that he continued to get to the pockets on the ice
37:24and he gets rewarded for it.
37:30Lots of time left in this period.
37:331-0 to score.
37:41St. Petersburg's won it.
37:42Now they'll go on the attack.
37:44Quick pass to Lozon.
37:49Looks to center on the front now.
37:51And that's off target as it hits a body.
37:55Pokes it away to stay on the attack.
37:59And look at this.
38:01They really ratcheted up the intensity here.
38:05Brings the puck into the offensive end now.
38:07All right, you got it.
38:10That's it out front.
38:11And scores!
38:13What a play!
38:22Coaches love these kind of ball, James.
38:24When you have sustained offensive pressure,
38:26you're wearing your opponent down consistently,
38:28whether it's the cycle
38:29or whether you're creating motion and lanes to the net.
38:32Everything they did was right here.
38:33You can feel this one coming.
38:35They finally convert on their chances.
38:45St. Petersburg's got some fight in them tonight.
38:48Here we go.
38:48All tied up in the third.
38:50Yeah, these games are great, James,
38:51especially when they go back and forth
38:53right into the third period.
38:54But finally, they're taking advantage
38:56of the puck possession that they've had
38:58and cashing in on some opportunities.
39:02Takes the pass.
39:06The Golden Knights,
39:07scooping up along the boards.
39:10Stooped up along the wall by Stone.
39:12Quick pass across to Hannafin.
39:15Intercepted in the offensive end by Sundquist.
39:17Here's a short pass to Hurdle.
39:22Pires it on net.
39:23And not much on that one.
39:25Oh, the poke check.
39:26What a read by the goaltender.
39:29Shot.
39:30Group stuck by Subban.
39:34Go, let's go!
39:36For this goalie, he deserves a highlight back.
39:38And he's made many huge saves tonight
39:40that has given his team momentum.
39:42And it's about the timeliness of a save
39:44to sort of reset the momentum in a game
39:46and give your team an opportunity to win.
39:48And that's exactly what he's done
39:50between the pipes tonight, James.
39:51And that's exactly what he's done
39:52between the pipes tonight, James.
40:01More than half the period left to play.
40:04We are all tied up in this one.
40:10And they win the draw here in their own end.
40:13St. Petersburg's got control of the puck.
40:15Nice dish to the left wing.
40:21Moves it quickly over to Imperson.
40:24Here's a shot.
40:25Pours it off the pipe.
40:27In a tie game, you're looking to get shots to net.
40:30And that one overs and it wins the post.
40:33St. Petersburg's working hard to stay positive here.
40:36James, another one off the place
40:38that could be in the lead handedly here.
40:40But it remains tied.
40:41And that pass is redirected.
40:47The Golden Knights have it from their own end.
40:49Puts it in deep.
40:52Gets the puck over to Imperson.
40:56Takes the beam.
40:58From the right side and up the middle.
40:59Puts it over.
41:00Puts it over.
41:01Puts it over.
41:03Vegas has it in their own zone.
41:06Here they come.
41:08Oh, look at this chance.
41:10Nice puck jump.
41:12Vegas has it behind the net.
41:15Takes the feet at the back end.
41:16Stopped by the goaltender getting a piece of that one.
41:20This is a fantastic save, James.
41:22And he makes it look easy.
41:23He's Bob and he's Weevan trying to fight.
41:25One-on-one with the goaltender.
41:27Here we go.
41:29Shots him down with a pedal.
41:30What a stop.
41:31As a goaltender, you want to make yourself as big as possible.
41:35And that's exactly what he does right there
41:37and just takes away the net.
41:39Stone's been tripped up.
41:41And we got a penalty coming up here.
41:42And let's see what the call is.
41:45The Bears are going to be short-handled tripping the call.
41:48Once the stick engages at that low-hand level within the skates,
41:53you know it's going to be a tripping call.
42:02I expect that they'll go over the exact same formation
42:04that they were successful on earlier, James.
42:07An umbrella power play set.
42:08We have three up high and really are using the top of the offensive zone
42:12you want to draw the cover and go.
42:14And then you can look for crossings and perhaps dive down
42:16and really attack the net.
42:19Quick feed to Koopman.
42:21Oh, that's tremendous cause in the defensive end
42:23to break off the pass.
42:26Moves it up.
42:28Pass back to the point.
42:29Can't get it to go.
42:31Looking to break out the other corner play.
42:35Moves into the slot.
42:37He's in front.
42:38Oh, what a stopper.
42:39Here's the pass.
42:43Oh, how about that for sacrifice?
42:46Well, on PK, you have to sacrifice.
42:48And I love the way that he gets out there aggressively
42:50and makes sure that that shot does not get to the net.
42:53And he slides it quickly to Gilbert.
42:55Vegas takes possession along the wall.
42:59With some open space up center.
43:02The Golden Knights looking against the half wall.
43:04Good eyes on the play.
43:07Subban's made a great save and even better
43:09as the redirects to the corner.
43:12Here inside the defensive zone, they get the puck.
43:16I was never expected to score, James,
43:18so this never really bothered me.
43:19I was always on the defensive side of it.
43:22But listen, the goaltenders had to make some huge save.
43:24Everyone's talking about the chances.
43:26How about the tenders and their positioning
43:27and the ability to move within the net?
43:29We got a whistle as the puck's frozen.
43:32The Capitals roll into town next on this homestand.
43:35And this should be a fascinating matchup,
43:38the way these two teams line up against each other.
43:47And Dennings won the faceoff here in the offensive zone.
43:50Picked off by Stone.
43:53Hunt's got the puck through the neutral zone.
43:56Fires it.
43:57Stones him in front.
43:59Subban's going to hang on to the puck
44:01and get a stoppage at play.
44:03Nothing gives confidence to a team more than a big save,
44:06and he's been doing it all night, James.
44:08Carlson's looking to win this draw
44:10on this man advantage here.
44:15Vegas wins the draw.
44:17Look at the pressure!
44:19It's a good call and a big save!
44:23Grounds the puck here on their own end.
44:24St. Petersburg's looking to break out.
44:32Pushes it across to Harkins.
44:34And that's broken up by Houghton.
44:38And he'll love the puck back inside the defensive zone.
44:41And as he jumps out of the box,
44:43he can make his penalty killers
44:45as they bail him out to keep this one time.
44:49I really like what this pique unit has done.
44:51And James, in my experience,
44:52I know what it's like to be out there in a tie game.
44:55You want to execute your role to the best of your ability.
44:57You know what it's like to go down by one,
45:00and it's really deflating when it happens on a pique.
45:02So finding how to do it, getting it done, just did it.
45:06The Piers take possession off the faceoff.
45:12Moves it to Lizard.
45:14Too much traffic in the lane.
45:17Moves across the puck.
45:19And he uses the puck to keep that out,
45:21giving a piece of it.
45:23Vegas has the puck.
45:24Now he slides it up to draw a floor.
45:26Back to the point it goes.
45:33Oh, that's the second.
45:34It's in the back of the net.
45:37Turn the whole goal.
45:41You don't see that very often
45:43when you're shooting into your own net,
45:45trying to clear the puck.
45:46That's ugly.
45:47That's ugly.
45:48That's ugly.
45:49That's ugly.
45:50That's ugly.
45:51That's ugly.
45:52That's ugly.
45:53That's ugly.
45:54That's ugly.
45:55That's ugly.
45:56That's ugly.
46:08That's ugly.
46:09Vegas has found that all critical goal
46:12here in the back half of the third, Sharon.
46:14Yeah, they really have.
46:15But they're gonna have to continue
46:16to press an attack.
46:17They wanna be on the four check.
46:19They don't wanna give the puck to their opponent.
46:20They'll be really urgent
46:21at the back half of the third.
46:24Look at the Knights.
46:25Get a hold of it.
46:26Here they come on the attack!
46:28Just a simple save by Subban!
46:30Quick pass to Marner!
46:32Puts it on net!
46:34Van Iza with the pad!
46:36St. Petersburg's got a hold of the puck!
46:42Grabs control of it at the point!
46:44Here's a short pass to Lozon!
46:46St. Petersburg's at the back end!
46:50Slides it across!
46:54Looks to set up along the point!
47:00Quick shot!
47:02Turns it aside!
47:04St. Petersburg's got a hold of it against the wall!
47:06Shuts him down!
47:08Man is here difficult to defend, hey James?
47:10I mean, so difficult when you're shoving,
47:12you're doing everything you possibly can
47:14to move and separate him from the puck,
47:16but his core strength and his balance
47:18is certainly the victory as he takes this one to the net.
47:20And that's poked away by D'Angelo!
47:22And a stick in the lane ends that threat!
47:26Here we go!
47:28Out there rush here!
47:30St. Petersburg's looking to break out of their own end!
47:32The Golden Knights gain control of the puck!
47:34Great pressure on the offensive end by Barbashev!
47:38Hustled off the puck!
47:40Picked up along the boards by Theodore!
47:42Loosen quickly over to Carson!
47:46Hooked away by D'Angelo!
47:48And we got a delayed penalty coming up here!
47:52Hustled long stopping the play!
47:54The Golden Knights will now be undermanned
47:56with a cross-checking penalty!
47:58Oh, the one goal lead!
48:00There's a small margin of error, James,
48:02and to protect it, you can't be in the box!
48:04Now they're short-handed!
48:06And they gotta find a way to kill it off!
48:08Another power play opportunity coming up here
48:14as they set up at the face-off!
48:16Well, they create a power play opportunity with hard work,
48:20and now it's an opportunity to get back in this game, James,
48:22finding a way to move the puck quickly
48:25and create teams to get shots on net!
48:27Redirected! Scores!
48:29They've tied it up here with a timely goal in the third!
48:39Now with their backs up against the wall,
48:41they decide to turn the ties and put on the press,
48:43if you will, James, and they get the equalizer.
48:45He does a great job of recognizing
48:48that he's not gonna have much time to get this puck off,
48:50so it's a one-timer,
48:52and he's able to beat the goaltender clean.
48:57St. Petersburg's hard work, dedication, and perseverance
49:08has paid off here with a goal late in the third!
49:10I love that they battled all game to be in it, James,
49:13and they get the equalizer in the late stages,
49:15and now the momentum is in their favor.
49:17They've gotta find a way to attack.
49:18This net shift is so important.
49:20They have their opponent on their heels.
49:22Sun Trescone in the offensive zone!
49:25The Bears play it near the corner!
49:27Stuck with the waffle maker by Hill!
49:30The Golden Knights have it now!
49:32Vegas has it in the defensive end!
49:35Avoids the poke check!
49:37Takes a shot!
49:39Denied by the goaltender!
49:41There's the whistle as the puck stopper likes to hang on.
49:44A big draw looming here in the offensive zone!
49:49Go faster!
49:56Turtles won the draw here and they're beating it down.
49:59Doesn't raise him!
50:00He got all of it!
50:02Handles the puck!
50:03ass intercepted!
50:07That's intercepted.
50:11Vengas looks to break out on the right end.
50:14Puts it on that.
50:16Oh, and he's dialed in tonight.
50:18What a save on that one.
50:20Takes it in front.
50:22Stopped by the goaltender.
50:24Mott's got the puck now here inside his own defensive zone.
50:29Vengas has possession of the puck.
50:33This one's still up the grass as we approach the final.
50:37Scores!
50:39Well, the goaltender's gonna have that one back.
50:41He put it in himself.
50:47These goals are real deflaners for the entire team.
50:50James thought he had a piece of it.
50:51He just dribbles into the back of it,
50:53and he wants that one back.
51:03The goal of the Knights were back there.
51:05One up by one here in the third.
51:07You're better up by one than down by one, James,
51:09but there's a lot of one weight left.
51:11Now it's a mindset of attack,
51:13but be defensively responsible.
51:15And the shot comes to the side with the glove.
51:17And they'll get a point of the rest of the goaltender covers it up.
51:21A lot on the line here in this offensive zone based off.
51:35Vengas wins the draw.
51:37Now let's see what they can do with it.
51:39Scores!
51:41That's number two counter.
51:43Yeah, he's been all over the pucks, man.
51:45He's feeling it.
51:46He's confident.
51:47You've got to believe he's got to be looking for the hat.
51:51Locked in the backhand is harder to control here, James,
51:53but, man, he has a hold of it.
51:55He grounds it.
51:56He gets it up high in a hurry and beats the goaltender.
52:13Here in the late, going into the frame.
52:25The Golden Knights have all the momentum right now,
52:27leading by two.
52:31And off the draw, they win the face-off.
52:37Grabbed along the board by Ismael.
52:40Takes the puck.
52:49St. Petersburg's trying to make something happen in the offensive zone.
52:53Picked up along the wall by Ismael.
52:55Made the stop on the play.
52:57Puck scooped up by Hoda.
53:00Knife-selled entry from the right side.
53:08Final seconds of this one,
53:09and the home fans certainly appreciate that they got their money's worth tonight.
53:14Puck bounces into the bench and will get a face-off.
53:19Vegas is looking to bring it home here,
53:21as they have been the dominant team offensively tonight,
53:23and they continue to lead late in the third.
53:28Puck is trying to win the draw here into the defensive zone.
53:30Quick shot and one last save.
53:31And that will close the book on this one here tonight.
53:40Final shooters had to work tonight, but they certainly got a little target practice here.
53:45Yeah, they did.
53:46They had that cheap-first mentality as they continue to just put the puck to the net from all the areas of the ice.
53:51And sometimes the rebound, that's what you're looking for in those dead-angle shots,
53:55but eventually it paid off for them.
53:57The line puts a ball on the night here this evening from all of us here at EA Sports.
54:03On the board, I'm James Soboski. See ya!
54:05I'm James Soboski. See ya!
