THIRD PERIOD

0.0: Our season ends short of our goal. The Golden Knights take Game 6 by a 5-2 score and the series 4-2 to eliminate the Edmonton Oilers with to a solid road effort and Jonathan Marchessault’s second-period natural hat-trick. Thank you for all your support Oil Country, we’ll come back stronger next season.

38.8: Karlsson into the empty net… That’ll do it. | VGK 5, EDM 2

3:55: Jack Campbell out early for the extra attacker.

4:02: Pressure and desperation mounting for Edmonton, but nothing’s going in.

12:42: Hill with another miraculous stop, this time on Mattias Ekholm, who came down from the point and was open on the left side.

16:08: Adin Hill makes a great kick save on the wide-open Evander Kane coming down the wing.

20:00: The second period is underway! Jack Campbell starts in goal for Edmonton to begin the final frame.

SECOND PERIOD

1:24: Hat-trick for Marchessault. | VGK 4, EDM 2

2:07: Mattias Ekholm for boarding now. 4-on-3 for the Golden Knights.

2:47: A hard penalty-kill shift and two-on-one for Nick Bjugstad and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins leads to Bjugstad getting tripped up, evening things up at 4-on-4!

3:28: After Evander Kane is picked at the blue line, Kailer Yamamoto is assessed an interference penalty. Not much in that.

6:11: No dice on that power play.

8:11: William Carrier grabs the back of Cody Ceci for a holding penalty! Let’s get to work.

12:16: Puck pops up in the air off another point shot and over SKinner’s head before Marchessault tapped it in. Vegas back ahead. | VGK 3, EDM 2

FIRST PERIOD

0.0: The Oilers take a massive 2-1 lead into the first intermission!

4:41: Mad action around the Vegas crease as Edmonton pours the pressure on! Kailer Yamamoto had a partial breakaway a shift after Evander Kane almost buried a back-door rebound.

11:12: A heroic block by Klim Kostin, who’s taken a beating this series with a couple hard miles from blocks but continues to march on. You need warriors in the playoffs like him.

17:17: WHAT WORK BY THE THIRD LINE!!! Each forward makes a great contribution to set up Warren Foegele’s second of the playoffs to give Edmonton the lead off a great forecheck! Great dishes by Ryan McLeod and Derek Ryan, who pick up the assists as Foegele found the space in front. | EDM 2, VGK 1

19:05: SCRATCH THAT!!! CONNOR SHOOTS ON THE RUSH AND SCORES!!! Leave it to your captain to immediately lift the spirits inside Rogers Place with a quick wrist shot under the right arm of Adin Hill. | EDM 1, VGK 1
