The Winnipeg Jets will welcome the Vegas Golden Knights to Canada Life Centre for an NHL game on Saturday. The Winnipeg Jets lost 5-2 in their last game over the Knights. The Jets dominated the first period by outshooting Vegas 17-8, and tensions were high with three fights breaking out and 18 minutes of penalties handed out. But the Knights came out stronger in the second period and took the first lead of the series on Karlsson’s shot from the slot and Eichel’s redirect from 21 feet away.
Winnipeg evened the game at 2-2 on Stenlund’s goal off a 2-on-1 breakaway with 3:59 left. The Knights broke open the game with three third-period goals. The first two games have not easy from a physical standpoint for the Jets. Morgan Barron took a skate to his face in Game 1 dangerously close to his right eye that required more than 75 stitches. Then on Thursday, Hellebuyck took a shot to the helmet of Jack Eichel’s stick that put bloodied his face near his left eye. It was a quite a sequence for Hellebuyck, who moments earlier made a lunging glove save off a power-play shot from Stephenson. He somehow kept the puck in front of the goal line to keep the Knights off the scoreboard.
The Vegas Golden Knights on the other hand won 5-2 against the Jets in their last game. Mark Stone scored two third-period goals and assisted on another in just his second game since returning from back surgery to give the Vegas Golden Knights a 5-2 victory over Winnipeg Jets on Thursday night in Game 2 to even the first-round series. Chandler Stephenson and William Karlsson each had a goal and an assist, Jack Eichel scored his first career playoff goal and Phil Kessel and Alex Pietrangelo each had two assists. Laurent Brossoit made 31 saves.
Stone’s goals were his first since January. He underwent back surgery Jan. 31 and returned in time for this game. Adam Lowry and Kevin Stenlund each scored for the Jets, and Connor Hellebuyck made 34 stops. Game 3 is Saturday afternoon at Winnipeg. Lowry scored on a power play at 9:18 of the first period, redirecting Neal Pionk’s shot from the point to give Winnipeg a 1-0 lead. It was his third goal in a row. He ended the series opener, a 5-1 Jets victory, with a power play goal and empty netter in the final 1:21.
