Toyota Game RecapAvs 1 - Golden Knights 4



The Avs coming off a shootout win over Vegas
on Saturday, tonight: round 2. Four minutes into the 2nd, Vegas power play,
and it didn't take long. The puck will bounce off EJ, Alex Tuch crams
it home. Yeah, there it is.

Just an unlucky bounce, look at Karlsson,
gets right under the puck, hits Erik Johnson number 6 right there in the back. Tatar goes for a swing at it, misses, Tuch
finds the rebound and tucks it into the back of the net. Alright, so 6.5 To go and the Avs will get
lucky here. Great play by Blake Comeau.

Watch this right in by Fleury a little contact. Erik Johnson puts it home. They would review it though? They would Comeau will bump into Marc-Andre
Fleury. Clearly he did, but the rules have changed,
they go to Toronto to make the call and in Toronto they say, YEP! Good goal by us we like it.

Jonathan Marchessault, pretty good player,
he's got a pretty good shot and that's why. Boy, does that sting right there? Inadvertent high stick by Tyson Jost puts
Vegas on the power play. Varly is trying to see around the player with
the screen and really just goes right over his head and into the back of the net. Kind of a bizarre goal.

The third period is really the one that changed
everything. Not even 90 seconds into the third Vegas comes
out swinging and Shea Theodore goes top corner. Man, to be that open in the slot and be able
to walk in and snap one like that, there's coverage missed somewhere. Too easy of a goal.

William Karlsson would add another and empty
netter. Colorado doing everything they can to put
some pressure on, but it's just too much Vegas. You see why they are tough to beat at home. His 40th goal of the year.

That's 40 over par. Gets it done at both ends of the ice. Vegas, they're an impressive team, and they've
got a really good goaltender..
