Noah Hanifin broke a scoreless tie in the third period, Adin Hill stopped 23 shots and the defending champion Vegas Golden Knights kept alive their season.
Beginning with Tyler Seguin on a breakaway, the shots came in waves at Vegas goalie Adin Hill.This was the Hill of last year's Stanley Cup championship run, and because of him the Golden Knights kept alive their hopes of repeating by beating the Dallas Stars 2-0 on Friday night to force a Game 7.
This was a classic goalie duel, with Hill looking like the player who went 11-4 with a .932 save percentage and 2.17 goals goals allowed per game in last year's playoffs. But Hill had been up and down late in this season, and Logan Thompson got the starting job in the series' first four games.“At the end of the year, Adin was feeling pretty good about this game,” Knights coach Bruce Cassidy said. “You could see it in practice. It was just pucks were finding their way in.
“I would've like to have shut it down tonight, but now that we're in this position, that's why we played so well during the regular season to get Game 7 at home if it comes to that,” Oettinger said. “The ball's in our court. We're on home ice, and now it's on us to take care of business.”Vegas took a 2-0 lead in this series, and the Knights are 4-0 when holding such an advantage.
