HOW IT WENT DOWN
The Golden Knights struck first with 8:18 remaining in the first period on the man advantage as Mark Stone’s centering pass deflected off a Mammoth defenseman into the net, giving Vegas an early 1-0 advantage. MacKenzie Weegar knotted up the score for Utah with just over three minutes left in the frame. The Mammoth grabbed their first lead of the game with 5:04 left in the second period when Dylan Guenther scored on a slapshot from the blue line. Ivan Barbashev fired back just over a minute later, going upstairs on a backhander as he was streaking to the net to draw Vegas even once again, 2-2, heading into the final frame. Logan Cooley put Utah up, 3-2, with six minutes left in the contest, shoveling in a rebound in front of the net to give the Mammoth a series-tying win in Vegas.
