Analysis:  VGK’s 5-on-5 game generated some dangerous looks but never found a way to beat a goalie in Jake Allen who was on his game. In the other net, Carter Hart did well to keep the game manageable and allow VGK to do what they’ve been doing all year, rescuing games late with power play goals. Special teams has remained massive for this team and it earned them another point tonight in a game that looked like it could be a regulation loss. (Analysis by Ken)
