Mitch Marner<\/a> scored an empty-net goal at 19:54 for the 3-1 final.<\/p>\n

Game 2 of the best-of-7 series will be here on Wednesday (9:30 p.m. ET; HBO MAX, truTV, TNT, SN360, SN, TVAS).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s Game 1. It is (about) which team finds its game the quickest that has the advantage,\u201d Golden Knights coach John Tortorella said. \u201cWe\u2019re fortunate. Fortunate that we found a way to win. They played well. Some of it had to do with them. They played well, but we have some things to work on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brett Howden<\/a> scored for the fourth straight game, and Carter Hart<\/a>\u00a0made 33 saves for the Golden Knights, who are the No. 1 seed from the Pacific Division.<\/p>\n

Mikael Granlund<\/a> scored, and Lukas Dostal<\/a>\u00a0made 19 saves for the Ducks, who are the No. 3 seed from the Pacific.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t mind the way we played,\u201d Anaheim coach Joel Quenneville said. \u201cWe had a lot of pace. Both teams worked hard. It\u2019s a heck of a hockey game. … I don\u2019t think we had the quantity or the quality we had in the last series, but we did have enough to score more than one.”<\/p>\n

Howden put Vegas ahead 1-0 at 3:14 of the second period. Marner sent a backdoor pass to a driving Howden, who tapped the puck into an open net at the left post.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just looking at Mitch right away,\u201d Howden said. \u201cHe made a great play. I was kind of behind the play, and I could feel that he knew I was coming late. I was going to get there a bit earlier, and he waited it out, and I just tried driving back away.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mitch Marner scored an empty-net goal at 19:54 for the 3-1 final.
