Another single game today, as the Vegas Golden Knights host the Colorado Avalanche. Philipp Grubauer and Marc-Andre Fleury man the nets. Colorado opened in the first period with a Devon Toews goal, courtesy of Nathan MacKinnon and Brandon Saad. Vegas tied it on a Nick Holden goal, via Reilly Smith and Nicolas Roy. The Golden Knights pulled ahead with a William Karlsson goal, his fourth of the postseason, assisted by Alec Martinez. The Avalanche tied it in the second period with a Mikko Rantanen power play goal, his fifth of the playoffs, powered by MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog. Vegas pulled ahead again with a Keegan Kolesar goal, coming off of Alex Pietrangelo and Shea Theodore. Colorado tied it on an Andre Burakovsky goal, passed from Pierre-Edouard Bellemare and Cale Makar. The Golden Knights reclaimed the lead with a Pietrangelo goal, helped along by Alex Tuch and Max Pacioretty. Vegas added on with a William Carrier goal, guided in by Theodore and Brayden McNabb. The Golden Knights extended the lead as Pacioretty scored an empty net goal, his fourth of the postseason, going in unassisted. The three stars of the 6-3 game were Pietrangelo, Pacioretty, and MacKinnon, while Theodore gets an honorable mention. The Golden Knights won the series 4-2 and will face the Canadiens in the Stanley Cup Semifinals.
