VGK wears down Mammoth, wins 4-2, series opener

VGK outhit Utah 52-30 in last night's opening round game and those hits wore down the Mammoth in the Golden Knights 4-2 victory.  VGK had to rally from a goal down twice in the game. The Golden Knights scored three times in the final period for the win.  Mark Stone had the equalizer to knot the game up at 2-2.  Nic Dowd scored the game-winner on a deflection of a Noah Hanifin shot.  The Mammoth couldn't clear the zone three times on that VGK possession.  And, Ivan Barbashev scored an empty net insurance goal.  We highlight the Golden Knights fourth line which had two goals, two assists, 11 hits and a plus seven.  That line of Dowd, Cole Smith and Colton Sissons was the different-maker for VGK.   And we talk about Barbashev's physical game.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
