00:16Both centers are set at center ice, and we are just about ready to drop the puck.
00:29The crew have the first touch of the night, as they control the opening draw.
00:34Here's the backhander, nice save by Hill!
00:38That's exactly what you want from your goaltender there, a low slot chance, and he tracks it
00:42beautifully to come up with the stop.
00:46Tip, save off his glove!
00:54Soda Blum's come up with a massive stop on that last sequence.
00:57When you look at this again here on the replay, you can see that's a dangerous chance in tight,
01:01and he is just so composed and is able to make an outstanding save to keep it out.
01:10Still in the early stages of this period.
01:120-0, a scoreless affair right now.
01:17Offensive zone, face off is won.
01:19Say!
01:20Just got enough of that one!
01:23Go!
01:24Go!
01:24Go!
01:24Go!
01:26Go!
01:27The Golden Knights win the puck now.
01:30Passes the puck over to Marner.
01:34Dorothea's backhand!
01:35Oh, baby!
01:37Can you believe that one?
01:39Soda Blum's just made a highlight real save, and that can really turn things the other way.
01:47A good old-fashioned fight for possession along the wall as they try and dig out that puck.
01:56Dorothea drives the net!
01:58And he scores!
01:58He scores!
02:01He scores!
02:02He scores!
02:03The gear for him!
02:08That opens it up!
02:091-0!
02:22Yeah, and on the replay, this all starts off that odd man rush, and when you get numbers like that,
02:27boy, it can turn in a hurry.
02:49Vegas with some early domination.
02:51A quick start here at home, and they're up 1-0.
02:54That would be.
02:56Face-off one, and the puck is theirs.
03:00Vegas has it along the wall.
03:02Slides the puck across to Kolasar.
03:06St. Petersburg's got control of the puck in the defensive zone.
03:10And he quickly goes to Tucker.
03:14Picked off.
03:15Nice read by Hurdle.
03:16Oh, not quite.
03:23That's picked up by Marchment.
03:26The Golden Knights have picked it up along the boards.
03:32Polisar, save!
03:33Pins it to his chest.
03:40Lots of hockey left to be played.
03:43We've got a 1-0 score.
03:46The Golden Knights win the faceoff, and they have it.
03:50Ozone pressure continues as he takes the puck.
03:53Has it in front.
03:5412 save by Soderblom.
03:58What a save there.
03:59Shooter in the low slot, and the goalie comes up with a huge stop.
04:03The Golden Knights, as we can see by shots on goal,
04:06they've gotten up to a good start.
04:08They always want to start on time, and they have in this one.
04:11St. Petersburg's won the faceoff, and they have it.
04:15Oh, can't quite connect.
04:17Delayed penalty coming up.
04:20There's the whistle, and here comes the penalty call.
04:23Well, they're trailing by one, and they can ill afford to go to the penalty box,
04:26but that's exactly what just happened there, Bucci.
04:28That's a penalty.
04:41Faceoff in the offensive zone.
04:43First power play chance of the game.
04:45Yeah, and this is their first power play opportunity here.
04:48So a real good chance to try and grab a little momentum
04:50and see what this special team used to do.
04:53Puck scooped up, and they'll look to clear it down the ice.
05:00Puck scooped up.
05:01Scoops up the puck behind their own net.
05:04Hannafin.
05:06Crisp short pass to Theodore.
05:12Carlson.
05:14Down!
05:15Off the paddle!
05:18That is a big-time stop right there from the slot.
05:20That's a real dangerous chance.
05:24Special teams coming into play again in this one.
05:27Player set to go, and the power play will continue.
05:31Offensive zone, faceoff one.
05:33And he gets in front of it!
05:35That's exactly what you need from a penalty killer to take that lane away.
05:39Vegas picks it up along the board.
05:42Theodore.
05:50Holden!
05:50Holden!
05:51Holden!
05:53Holden!
05:53Holden!
05:55He gets it on the rebound!
05:59The one in on the power play!
06:02And it's 2-0 on the scoreboard.
06:17Boy this is all about staying with the play Bucci because the first chance doesn't go
06:20but he's right on top of it. Tracks that rebound down and snaps it home before anybody else can get
06:25there.
06:43Approaching the center of the period, a little daylight with the two goal lead.
06:50The Golden Knights have control of the draw and we stay right with the flow here.
06:56St. Petersburg has come back up with possession. Save! Another big save!
07:03Vegas has possession near the boards. Taken there now by Barbashev.
07:10Couldn't quite complete that pass. In front! Save!
07:16And he sends the nice cross-size pass to Korczak. Can't connect, they'll have to touch up the lead offside.
07:23Shot! Scored!
07:28He gets it on the rebound.
07:32Three unanswered. Three nothings.
07:47Well, hockey's about the game of bounces right there. Not always a fair one because you have chance after chance
07:53after chance at one end.
07:54They come so close and yet the puck goes down the other end and they score.
08:11Middle of the frame, fast approaching. Comfortable edge at three goals.
08:18St. Petersburg's won the draw and play continues here.
08:22Timely Korczak there by Eichel.
08:26Picks it up and looks to make a play.
08:28Save!
08:30Korczak away now on the forecheck.
08:33He lifts the stick and takes possession. Nice play.
08:39St. Petersburg's picked it up along the wall.
08:42And he feeds it now to Chisholm.
08:45Just out of reach.
08:47In three!
08:49Just a piece of that one!
08:57That just shows you what kind of a battler he is.
08:59There's nothing perfect about that except he never gave up, he never quit.
09:02What a great save.
09:19Right around the middle of this period.
09:22It's 3-0. Dominant showing.
09:27Vegas wins the draw.
09:28They'll look to put pressure on now.
09:31St. Petersburg's turn with the puck now.
09:33Swiftly sends it to Chisholm.
09:36Passes it!
09:38Intercepted.
09:40Stick in the lane.
09:41Broken up.
09:43Long connection up to Zari.
09:46Good stop by Hill.
09:48The Golden Knights have gathered the puck.
09:52Now a quick pass to Dumbo.
09:54He's never scored an NHL goal.
09:56He's looking for his first.
09:58Kept out!
09:59That is sharp goaltending right there.
10:01A really dangerous look from a prime area, but it's turned aside.
10:05Zari!
10:07The Golden Knights have scooped it up here.
10:12Hope checked away by Benoit.
10:15The crew have picked it up along the boards.
10:19They glide in the D zone.
10:21And that's moved quickly to Nyquist.
10:24Nyquist!
10:28Shot!
10:29What a save by Hill!
10:31Another save!
10:35The Golden Knights got the puck now.
10:41Puck dumped in, and now they'll get some fresh Gators.
10:44Oh!
10:45Nice poke check there!
10:48Quick take-to-take to Hallander.
10:52Slide the puck over to Barbashev.
10:55Poke check by Benoit.
10:58Benoit!
11:00Benoit!
11:01Blocker saved by Hill!
11:05Sweet pass along the blue line.
11:08Hangs on to that puck.
11:09Will get ready for another face-off.
11:12As the whistle blows.
11:13Oh, that kind of save just changes the momentum of the game.
11:16Listen to the crowd!
11:18Listen to the pitch!
11:19Holy jumper!
11:20That's one of the greatest saves I've ever seen!
11:25The Golden Knights will try to keep this effort going.
11:28Kind of start they've wanted to have now for some time.
11:31Let's see if they can finish it off.
11:36D'Angelo!
11:37And a big-time block on the play!
11:40That's a solid effort to negate a great scoring chance.
11:43Sweet little play there by Hannafin.
11:49Kolasar!
11:50Checked away nicely.
11:52Good defensive play there with the stick.
11:55Can't quite connect.
11:56St. Petersburg's got possession along the course.
12:00Goes to Dinov.
12:04He takes it behind the net now.
12:06And that never reaches the net.
12:09He gets a piece of the pad on that one.
12:16Shot!
12:16And shuts down the one-timer!
12:20Vegas down the boards with it.
12:24And he sends it across to Herdo.
12:26Oh, checked by Harris.
12:30Vegas picks it up in the defensive zone.
12:36St. Petersburg's grit really showing.
12:38They take the putt now.
12:40Ease the puck across to Harris.
12:42Good little dish there.
12:45Moves that puck cross ice.
12:48St. Petersburg's got the puck back along the boards.
12:51Can't connect that pass there.
12:53St. Petersburg's right on it.
12:56And he makes the save.
12:58Puck picked up along the walls by Eichel.
13:02And now he pushes that across to Drewson.
13:07St. Petersburg picked it up along the wall.
13:12Dishes it to Eichel.
13:13He leaves the stick out and disrupts the play.
13:21Allender!
13:22Save!
13:23Boy, that takes a lot of determination in a tight area.
13:26He got jostled.
13:27He got pushed.
13:28And still he had the poise to hang on to that puck
13:30and get a good look on that.
13:32Can't quite connect there.
13:35Vegas comes away with it along the wall.
13:39Puck taken there by Marner.
13:42Gathered in by Hallander.
13:48Picks up the puck and the pressure continues.
13:51Can't connect there.
13:53Puck comes out of the zone.
14:00Shot!
14:00Shot!
14:01And that goes off someone out front.
14:03Puck comes out in the neutral zone.
14:06Look into a group here.
14:07And re-engage.
14:09The Golden Knights have picked it up in the defensive zone.
14:12He keeps that stick out there and just knocks the puck away.
14:18Takes the puck now in the O zone.
14:22Fed up top and handled at the point.
14:24And that chance is blocked.
14:27Quick dish to Houghton.
14:31Sweet little dish there.
14:39And the horn sounds.
14:41And the period ends.
14:43Good one so far here tonight.
14:45As the players head to their rooms.
14:47And the Zambonis will hit the ice.
14:50Back with more.
14:51Right after this.
14:54side.
14:55We're going to be live!
14:56Sc physics!
14:58You stricken a weiteren hit.
14:58Are we playing the game?
15:00Well done I am the Yankees.
15:02As long as somebody is watching the radio,
15:07We are playing the rising building.
15:13Corporate Item starts to realize.
15:15And staff will depart on the plane
16:53Vegas takes over possession in the defensive zone.
16:58Dorofey has blocked it away.
17:01Soto Blanc's been fighting it tonight, and you can see why that save matters.
17:04Now it's about building off that save and finding a way to swing the momentum.
17:08Save!
17:10Bedouin.
17:15And no, I see.
17:16The race for the puck has been won.
17:22Save.
17:25Gets it back up top here.
17:27Picked up by Hennepin.
17:30Just missed that connection.
17:33Nice deflection.
17:37Lorenz.
17:38Saved by Hill.
17:44This is just tremendous effort from the goaltender.
17:47He's battling, and he refuses to quit on the play, and that's the desperation you love to see.
17:51He comes up with such a big save, and you know his team got a boost after he bailed them
17:55out.
18:02Still in the opening stretch of the frame.
18:05Three unanswered.
18:06It's 3-0.
18:10The Golden Knights win the faceoff, and they have the puck now.
18:13And he pushes that across to Kolasar.
18:17Kolasar sends it over!
18:20Gets the whistle.
18:21Play is stopped.
18:22And will get ready for another faceoff.
18:27Getting set now.
18:29Face it off and resume play.
18:33The Golden Knights win the faceoff.
18:35They'll take control.
18:37Here's the shot.
18:39Saved with the club.
18:41Big one there.
18:43Along the boards, they take the puck.
18:51Tucker off the post!
18:54St. Petersburg's just trying to find something here, and even off the post, down in a blowout game,
18:59maybe that gives them a little bit of life.
19:01Shot!
19:02And that drive gets blocked en route.
19:05The Golden Knights with the puck down.
19:07Puck stooped up along the wall by Theoden.
19:10And now he moves it to Herda.
19:15Kolasar just got enough of that one!
19:18What a save!
19:19From the slot, that is a quality chance, and somehow he shuts the door.
19:24Takes in the puck.
19:26Pass intercepted.
19:27The Golden Knights have picked off another one here, and that's been a huge part of why they're blowing this
19:31game open.
19:32They've had the majority of the interceptions.
19:34They're reading it well, and they've turned those takeaways into complete control tonight.
19:39Vegas takes over on possession.
19:43Carlson.
19:44Carlson.
19:45Carlson.
20:10Carlson.
20:11Carlson.
20:14Carlson.
20:16Carlson.
20:16Carlson.
20:16Carlson.
20:44Carlson.
21:00Carlson.
21:00Carlson.
21:00Carlson.
21:05Carlson.
21:08Carlson.
21:08Carlson.
21:11Carlson.
21:12Carlson.
21:12Carlson.
21:14Carlson.
21:16Carlson.
21:18Carlson.
21:20Carlson.
21:22Carlson.
21:23Big save there.
21:25Hill has made a tremendous save on a dangerous look from the slot.
21:28Got to be sharp on that one to be able to react in time.
21:31Oh, hit hard.
21:33The crew have gained control along the wall.
21:46St. Petersburg's got possession along the boards.
21:52Lorenz has it in the slot.
21:54Play is stopped, and he'll take the faceoff.
21:58Well, they're not going to win the war,
22:00but they're trying to win these little battles right here
22:02by getting all these hits in.
22:03Clearly, they're a frustrated hockey team,
22:05trailing so badly in the game.
22:12Johansson's got to rally his team here
22:13and try to get him back into this game.
22:19Faceoff is won in the offensive zone.
22:23Whistle blows.
22:25Offside is the call,
22:26and the faceoff will come outside the zone.
22:31The Golden Knights told us before the game
22:33they were hoping for a full-game effort,
22:35and so far they've gotten it.
22:37Midway through the game,
22:38everything going their way.
22:40Disrupts the possession with the poke check.
22:44Vegas with it now behind the net.
22:47St. Petersburg's got the puck back along the boards.
22:52Pass along the blue line.
22:55Here's the shot.
22:56Walker's saved by Hill.
22:59Vegas takes it at the boards.
23:03To center to regroup.
23:04Slides the puck across to Eichel.
23:07Eichel, saved.
23:16Sotablock's been bailing out his teammates
23:17time and time again in this game.
23:19It would be way one-sided the other way,
23:21but he's the first, second, and third star
23:23as far as I'm concerned.
23:43Vegas has to like the way things are going right now.
23:46They got the lead.
23:47They're still getting shots on net.
23:49They're playing for victory so far, so good.
23:52And it's a quick pass to Marchment.
23:55And he slides it quickly to Zari.
23:58The Golden Knights have the puck back in their own zone.
24:02Whistle blows, and we're offside.
24:07Man, that one had some pop to it.
24:09He closes quickly and finishes with real authority.
24:11And when you catch the player in that spot,
24:13you're trying to jar that puck loose for a turnover.
24:16Play about to resume as we get set to face things off here.
24:22Neutral zone draw one, and the puck is theirs.
24:28Nyquist quickly blocked away by Hill.
24:31The Golden Knights have picked it up along the boards.
24:36And now he passes up to Kolasar.
24:39Nice hole check there by Tucker.
24:41And that pass goes astray.
24:44Makes the save.
24:45What a smart save there.
24:47Not only does he make the stop,
24:48he steers it right to the corner and out of danger.
24:51And he sends it to Marchment.
24:53And he quickly moves it to Nyquist.
24:56Just out of reach.
24:58Moves the puck across to Hannafin.
25:03Shot blocked in front.
25:06Never saw that one coming.
25:09And that's nubbed up to Smith.
25:12Ozone pressure continues as they take the puck.
25:15Save!
25:17Gets the whistle,
25:19and he'll take the face off.
25:29The Golden Knights win the draw and take possession.
25:33St. Petersburg's picked it up along the wall.
25:37Defenseman to defenseman pass there.
25:41Cut it!
25:43Blocker saved by Hill.
25:45Good play there on the post check.
25:50Harris kept out with the glove.
25:53The whistle blows,
25:55gets the stoppage,
25:56and he'll take the face off.
26:07The Golden Knights win the draw in their own end,
26:10and they'll take possession.
26:11Lift the stick,
26:13takes the puck.
26:14Steered aside.
26:18Back to the point here.
26:20And the puck is covered up.
26:21The whistle blows.
26:23And we'll get a break here
26:24until our next face off.
26:28Linesmen calling the players in,
26:30about to drop the puck.
26:32The Golden Knights win the draw,
26:34and they have it.
26:37The linesman blows the whistle.
26:39That's offside.
26:53Vegas controls the draw,
26:55and play continues.
26:56And he gives it over to Marner.
26:59And shots!
27:00Save!
27:02Play is stopped.
27:04We'll regroup,
27:05and get ready for another face off.
27:17Vegas wins the draw,
27:18they get the puck,
27:19and they'll look to attack.
27:20Blocked!
27:21Got in front of the shooting lane,
27:23made the play.
27:25The pass!
27:26Scored!
27:46Well, that's a good break
27:47for the offensive team right there.
27:49Shooting the puck
27:49and going off the defender
27:50and right into the net,
27:51there's no chance for the goaltender.
27:52Just bad luck on that side.
28:07St. Petersburg's game plan
28:09has got to stay the same.
28:10They've dug themselves
28:11a giant hole in this one.
28:13That goal is a start,
28:15but they've got to keep going.
28:17Still a big deficit.
28:19Doubt!
28:21That stick gets extended
28:22for the post-check.
28:23Quickly moves it to Hallander.
28:28Hallander!
28:29Score!
28:29Goal!
28:48Everything about that play is awkward.
28:50There's no real release to read,
28:52no real set position to get into.
28:53And before you know it,
28:55the puck has found daylight
28:56and it's sitting in the back of the cage.
28:57Goalies hate these types of plays.
29:10St. Petersburg's hill to climb
29:12is still a steep one.
29:13They're down a couple of goals.
29:15They need to keep that sustained pressure going
29:17that they finally filed in this period.
29:22Face-off one and they take control of the puck.
29:26Pope checked away nicely.
29:29Quickly up to D'Angelo.
29:30And he slides it quickly over to Smith.
29:36Here's the shot.
29:38Steered aside with the pad.
29:41Shot denied.
29:43Score!
29:59St. Petersburg's game has just improved.
30:01As the game has gone along,
30:03they're having a good second period.
30:04They got the momentum.
30:06And now they're within one.
30:10Tape to tape.
30:11There's the whistle.
30:13Arm in the air.
30:14And we got a penalty.
30:17Well, this is a tough one here.
30:19You're trailing by one.
30:20And now the PK has to do a job.
30:22Get this thing killed off.
30:24Get back to even strength.
30:25And try to grab a little momentum back.
30:40The Golden Knights will send out the power play units
