With a bundle of lineup changes coming in there way a major question mark on what to expect from the Golden Knights in the first 20 minutes. It wasn’t perfect, but with just three seconds left in the period James Neal found the back of the net to give the Golden Knights the 1-0 lead. 2nd period magic returned for Vegas as they jumped down the Sharks throats scoring two more and grabbing complete control of the game, and the series. Alex Tuch scored his second of the game in the 3rd to cap one of his best games of the season. The Sharks didn’t go away scoring three straight to make it very interesting, but a late Marchessault empty netter sealed it.
Upcoming stories from the Vegas Golden Knights vs. San Jose Sharks in Game 5 of Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs at T-Mobile Arena.
- Gallant pulls all the right strings, especially in getting the 3rd line going again.

- VGK now 3-0 in odd number games in the series, plus home teams winning Game 5 leads to overwhelming success.
Three Stars
*** Erik Haula
** David Perron
* Alex Tuch
4-0, once again the Eakin-Tuch-Lindberg line doing work. Tuch with the goal on the tip from the sweet pass by Eakin. If VGK gets offense from the 3rd line, they are nearly unbeatable.
