Three minutes later, Cutter Gauthier found the back of the net on the power play to make it a three-goal game. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/goldenknights\/player\/mitch-marner-8478483\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mitch Marner<\/a> put the Golden Knights on the board first with a goal at 9:47 in the second period. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/goldenknights\/player\/mark-stone-8475913\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mark Stone<\/a> fed the puck from behind the net, and it bounced off a defender\u2019s skate to Marner, who buried it from the goal line to make it 3-1. With 9:20 remaining in the third period, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/goldenknights\/player\/ivan-barbashev-8477964\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ivan Barbashev<\/a> tapped the puck in the net to bring the Golden Knights within one. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/goldenknights\/player\/jack-eichel-8478403\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jack Eichel<\/a> sent the puck to Barbashev in the slot, and he capitalized on his initial shot that slipped behind Lukas Dostal.
