Sabres, Golden Knights, Canadiens Face Do-or-Die Game 6 Showdowns: Who Will Survive the First-Round Gauntlet?
But special teams carried Vegas in Wednesday night’s 5-4 double-overtime victory over the Mammoth. The first of Pavel Dorofeyev’s three goals came with the man advantage, and he forced OT with a six-on-five goal with 52.7 seconds left in regulation before Brett Howden’s short-handed winner.
The Golden Knights also killed all five of Utah’s power plays. The Mammoth have converted just one of 14 power plays this series.
“It really came up big for us tonight,” Tortorella said of the penalty kill. “It’s a skilled team, a very dangerous power play, really big in OT as far as the kill. It’s steadied itself. Utah gets a lot of momentum off their power play whether they score or not. I think we’ve done a better job as the series has gone on.”
