In the second period, the Golden Knights found their groove as Paul Stastny finished a smooth passing play between Max Pacioretty and Brayden McNabb. Less than four minutes later, William Karlsson potted his fourth goal of the playoffs to extend the lead to 2-0. Late in the middle frame, Nicolas Roy and Chandler Stephenson connected to set up Tomas Nosek for the Golden Knights' third goal of the game. Lehner stayed strong in net to lead Vegas to the victory.
