NHL 2021 - Playoff Day 14

Just one game tonight, as the Vegas Golden Knights and Minnesota Wild duel for a seventh time. Cam Talbot and Marc-Andre Fleury man the nets. Vegas struck first in the first period with a Mattias Janmark goal, passed from Nicolas Roy and Nick Holden. Minnesota tied it on a Zach Parise goal, his second of the postseason, via Joel Eriksson Ek and Ryan Suter. The Golden Knights took the lead back in the second period with a Nicolas Hague goal, coming off of William Karlsson. The Wild tied it again with a Kirill Kaprizov power play goal, his second of the playoffs, powered by Mats Zuccarello and Jared Spurgeon. Vegas retook the lead on a Max Pacioretty goal, fueled by Chandler Stephenson and Shea Theodore. The Golden Knights added on with a Zach Whitecloud goal, assisted by Theodore and Stephenson. Vegas extended the lead in the third period as Janmark scored again, thanks to Nicolas Roy. The Golden Knights iced it at 6-2 with a Janmark empty net goal to complete his hat trick, set up by Alex Tuch and Alex Pietrangelo. The three stars were Janmark, Theodore, and Stephenson, while Roy gets an honorable mention. The Golden Knights won the series 4-3 and will next face the Avalanche.
