2023 Stanley Cup Finals - Game 2

We're back for Game 2, with the Vegas Golden Knights welcoming the Florida Panthers. Sergei Bobrovsky and Adin Hill patrol the creases. Vegas opened in the first period with a Jonathan Marchessault power play goal, his eleventh of the postseason, powered by Chandler Stephenson and Jack Eichel. The Golden Knights added on with an Alec Martinez goal, coming off of Ivan Barbashev and Marchessault. Vegas extended the lead in the second period as Nicolas Roy scored his second of the playoffs, courtesy of William Carrier and Zach Whitecloud. The Golden Knights padded the lead on a Brett Howden goal, his fourth of the postseason, fueled by Mark Stone and Stephenson. Alex Lyon replaced Bobrovsky in goal. Florida got on the board with an Anton Lundell goal in the third period, his second of the playoffs, guided in by Anthony Duclair. Vegas shot back with a Marchessault goal, his second of the game and twelfth of the postseason, passed from Eichel. The Golden Knights kept going with a Michael Amadio goal, his fourth of the playoffs, helped along by William Karlsson. The Panthers got one back with a Matthew Tkachuk goal, his tenth of the postseason, assisted by Sam Bennett and Josh Mahura. Vegas replied with a Howden power play goal, his second of the game and fifth of the playoffs, with assists provided by Amadio and Carrier. This made it 7-2, the final, with the three stars being Marchessault, Howden, and Amadio, while Stephenson, Carrier, and Eichel get the honorable mentions. The Golden Knights head on the road with a 2-0 series lead.
