Golden Knights Rally From 3 Down to Beat Avs, Take 3-0 Series Lead
Mark Stone sparked a three-goal response, and Vegas overcame a 3-0 deficit to move within one win of the Stanley Cup Final.
- On Sunday, the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Colorado Avalanche 5-3 at T-Mobile Arena, seizing a 3-0 lead in the Western Conference Final and moving one game from their third Stanley Cup Final appearance in nine years.
- Colorado dominated the first period with a 3-0 lead, but Vegas responded with five unanswered goals; the Golden Knights overcame a deficit they had failed to reverse in 19 previous playoff attempts.
- Defenseman Cale Makar returned to Colorado's lineup after missing two games, while center Nathan MacKinnon played through a second-period knee injury. Forward Keegan Kolesar ended a 37-game playoff goal drought with a score.
