9:15 p.m. ET<\/p>\n
The second period has begun, it’s 1-1, but Vegas starts this period on the power play due to a K’Andre Miller delay of game at the end of the second.<\/p>\n
That’s two delay of game penalties against Carolina, the first one resulting in a Pavel Dorofeyev goal that gave Vegas a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n
Jordan Staal tied the game and that’s where we are after 20 minutes.<\/p>\n
Some notes from the first period from NHLStats:<\/p>\n
* Pavel Dorofeyev scored his 11th of the playoffs and first since Game 1 of the Western Conference Final. Vegas is 5-1 when scoring first on the road this postseason.<\/p>\n
* Pavel Dorofeyev scored his 48th goal of 2025-26 (including regular season), the second most in Vegas history and two back of William Karlsson\u2019s mark of 50 set in 2017-18.<\/p>\n
* Pavel Dorofeyev scored his League-leading fifth power play goal of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs and established a Golden Knights single postseason benchmark.<\/p>\n
* Jack Eichel notched his eighth assist on a go-ahead goal this postseason, tying Carolina\u2019s Jackson Blake for the most in the NHL. Overall, Eichel is now one helper from tying the single-season franchise record of 20 he set in 2023.<\/p>\n
* Jordan Staal has tied the NHL record for longest goal streak in a Stanley Cup Final. Overall, he is the fifth player in NHL history to achieve the feat and first in more than 50 years, following Yvan Cournoyer (5 GP in 1973 w\/ MTL), Jean Beliveau (5 GP in 1956 w\/ MTL), Maurice Richard (5 GP in 1951 w\/ MTL) and Cyclone Taylor (5 GP in 1918 w\/ VMI). Staal, Beliveau, Richard and Taylor all did so from the start of the series. Staal will have a chance to set a new benchmark Sunday in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"9:15 p.m. ET The second period has begun, it’s 1-1, but Vegas starts this period on the power…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":731170,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-731169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/731169","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=731169"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/731169\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/731170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=731169"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=731169"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=731169"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
