Mark Stone led the charge for the Vegas Golden Knights with a sensational hat-trick, showcasing his offensive prowess and contributing to the team's offensive onslaught.

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

Goalkeeper Adin Hill played a key role in maintaining the Vegas Golden Knights' lead early in the game, making key saves. That included a left-pad stop on Anton Lundell's breakaway at 2:24 and a left-skate save on Aleksander Barkov moments before Stone's goal.

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