The Golden Knights seemed to forget the game started as they allowed a quick one from the Jets, but that goal sure did wake them up. An incredible response started with a goal from Jonathan Marchessault, and then two more from Nate Schmidt and Max Pacioretty inside of four minutes. Vegas took the 3-1 lead into the first intermission.
The 2nd period was highlighted by a dirty hit by Adam Lowry on Alex Tuch. A clear head shot sent Tuch to the locker room and left Lowry to have to fight Ryan Reaves. Lowry actually did very well and then his team backed up him playing much better as the period went on. However, Vegas did well to fend them off keeping the score at 3-1.
A power play goal cut the lead to one. Then a missed call gifted the Jets the game-tying goal.
Vegas struggled again in overtime blowing another game in which they had a two-goal lead in the 3rd period.

The Golden Knights did not play well in that period at all, there's no debating that. But they played well enough to hold a 2 goal lead. Absolutely atrocious call is the only reason we are headed to OT. Yikes.

Alex Tuch did not return from this hit in the 2nd period.
These look pretty darn similar to me… 2 periods apart. https://t.co/PzRRSlatjg pic.twitter.com/AtPbiVSEwE

disgraceful. 2 home games in a row. 3rd period jitters, dumb penalties, then a bad call, then a disorganized choke job again in OT
changes
Trade Eakin now. He is not doing a damn thing this season, and he won’t be back next season anyway, so trade his butt now. Get maybe Zucker of Minn or Athanasiou of Det in return to add speed.
Then move Glass back to center.
and recall Roy and Hague back to vgk

The Knights embarrassed and dominated your team 2 years ago, 4 to 1, just embarrassed them. Let’s wise up, face reality.

Lowry needs to be repaid again by Reaves or Carrier, that headshot was Wilsonesque. We won’t forget that. We will be patient, that was unforgivable. Any word on Tuch?
