Anthony Duclair followed up Gudas' blunder by needlessly tripping Zach Whitecloud 23 seconds later to put the Golden Knights up a man. Radko Gudas was boarded by William Carrier late in the first period and instead of keeping his cool, he then sought out and cross-checked Carrier resulting in a 4-on-4 situation. Florida really needs to play more disciplined as the parade to the penalty box almost cost them their season. The Panthers sent the Golden Knights to the power play a total of six times and Vegas converted twice. Montour ripped a shot over a crouching Hill's melon for his seventh of the postseason at the 4:08 mark.įLORIDA GETS ON THE BOARD FIRST IN GAME 3 /rRS74aQQMk- B/R Open Ice June 9, 2023 He came up with a huge kick save on William Karlsson, who was wide open in slot during the third.Īnother big save by Sergei Bobrovsky, this time on William Karlsson #TimeToHunt | #VegasBorn /tX5UfbbJ3w- Hockey Daily 365 l NHL Highlights June 9, 2023Īfter taking their lumps in Sin City, Florida got off to a fast start when Tkachuk collected the rebound of Marc Staal's miss and backhanded the puck to Brandon Montour just above the left circle. Bobrovsky was huge in the second period, stopping 12 of 13 shots, as Vegas was buzzing for much of the frame. Prior to the late-game goals, Bobrovsky was heroic, keeping the Cats from burning their eighth life with key save after key save. Glorious!!!

WHO ELSE BUT MATTHEW TKACHUK TO TIE IT? 🧀 /svHpGGyUON- Sportsnet June 9, 2023Īfter Gustav Forsling was called for a very iffy tripping penalty at 19:48, the Panthers killed off the infraction and then won it soon after when Sam Bennett reeled in Forsling's outlet pass, gained the zone and slid a pass over to Verhaeghe. Fortunately, the rebound came right to Tkachuk, who coolly put it home to knot the scores at two. With Sergei Bobrovsky off for an extra attacker, Verhaeghe took a pass from Aaron Ekblad and let go of a one-timer that was denied by Adin Hill. Matthew Tkachuk tied it with 2:13 left in regulation, setting the stage for Carter Verhaeghe's winner 4:27 into overtime as the Florida Panthers rallied for an enormous 3-2 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.
