How the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Panthers in Game 5

Mark Stone led the way for the Vegas Golden Knights with a sensational three-goal performance, showcasing his offensive skills.

Stone wasted no time in making an impact, scoring a remarkable short-handed goal during a 2-on-1 break at 11:52 of the first period. Demonstrating his patience and talent, he outmaneuvered Sergei Bobrovsky and fired a high shot to the glove side from close range, giving Vegas a 1-0 lead.

Goaltender Adin Hill played a crucial role in preserving the Vegas Golden Knights' early lead with key saves. This included a left-pad stop on Anton Lundell's breakaway at 2:24, and a left-skate save on Aleksander Barkov just moments before Stone's goal.

Nicolas Hague extended Vegas' advantage to 2-0 at 13:41 of the first period, taking advantage of a loose puck in front of Bobrovsky following a strong rush from the blue line. Jonathan Marchessault assisted on Hague's goal, extending his impressive playoff-record point streak to ten games.

The Vegas Golden Knights unleashed an offensive onslaught in the second period, scoring four goals in less than ten minutes. Alec Martinez fired a shot from the right face-off circle off a pass from Jack Eichel, making it 3-1 at 10:28.

Reilly Smith increased the lead to 4-1 at 12:13, converting an excellent setup by William Karlsson. Stone completed his second goal of the game at 17:15, thanks to a slick passing sequence involving Chandler Stephenson and Brett Howden. Just before the period ended, Michael Amadio capitalized on a rebound, extending the lead to 6-1 at 19:58.

In the third period, both teams found the back of the net. Ivan Barbashev increased Vegas' lead to 7-1 at 8:22 before Sam Reinhart and Sam Bennett responded for the Panthers, bringing the score to 7-3.

Stone secured his well-deserved hat trick with an unassisted empty-net goal from the length of the ice at 14:06, capping off an outstanding individual performance. Nicolas Roy sealed the dominant victory for the Vegas Golden Knights with a goal at 18:58.
