#2 The Golden Knights opened the scoring in the second period at 15:12 Shea Theodore scored his fifth goal of the post season for a 1-0 lead. The Knights at this point felt that they can gain some confidence if they could get another goal in the second period.

#3 The Vancouver Canucks Brock Boeser scored his fourth goal in the playoffs at 15:36 14 seconds after Throdore scored his goal to tie the game at 1-1. The Canucks came away from the second period with the tie.

#4 The Canucks Elias Pettersson picked up his seventh goal of the playoffs at 3:19 which later proved to be the game winner 2-1 Canucks who cut Vegas’ lead to one game it’s a 3-2 Knights series lead.
