There has only been one goal on 14 all-time penalty shots in the Stanley Cup Final. Who would have thought Mitch Marner not scoring to make it 5-0 would be so pivotal?<\/p>\n
Out of nowhere, the Hurricanes turned a 4-0 deficit into a 4-3 deficit with three goals in 39 seconds by Jordan Martinook, Taylor Hall and Jordan Staal.<\/p>\n
Martinook opened the scoring for Carolina with a goal off the forecheck. He jumped on a puck behind the Vegas net, curled around the crease, and slipped it underneath Carter Hart\u2019s outstretched pad to make it 4-1.<\/p>\n
Seconds later, Hall redirected a one-timer past Hart on the backdoor off a perfect feed from Aho. It was his sixth of the postseason, tying him with Nikolaj Ehlers for the most on the team. Then Staal tipped a shot by Jaccob Slavin from the point on a brilliant play in front of the net to pull the Hurricanes within a goal.<\/p>\n
Staal joined Brad Marchand as the second player age 37 or older to score in the first three games of a Stanley Cup Final. Marchand did so last year against Edmonton during Florida\u2019s second straight Stanley Cup bid.<\/p>\n
It was the fastest three goals in Stanley Cup Final history and the fifth time a team scored three times that quickly in any playoff game.<\/p>\n
When Andrei Svechnikov tied the score with 1:52 left after Shea Theodore put the puck in the stands, it made Brandon Bussi the goalie of record \u2014 amazingly. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There has only been one goal on 14 all-time penalty shots in the Stanley Cup Final.
