Golden Knights chase Stuart Skinner for third time in four games to eliminate Edmonton
The Vegas Golden Knights eliminated the Edmonton Oilers from Stanley Cup contention and advanced to the NHL’s Western Conference final with a 5-2 road win Sunday.Vegas carried a 4-2 lead into the third period on Jonathan Marchessault’s natural hat trick in the second.
The Golden Knights held Edmonton’s vaunted power play to one scoreless chance in Sunday’s second period. Seconds after a Vegas power play expired late in the second period, Marchessault completed his hat trick with a four-on-four goal at 18:36. The puck redirected off a skate in front of the crease to Marchessault, who fired into the opening at 4:26 as Skinner slid across the goalmouth to try and stop him.
The hosts led 2-1 by 2:43 of a penalty-free first period when Derek Ryan backhanded a pass from behind the goal-line to Foegele driving the net. The NHL playoff leader in points with 20 beat Hill with a low shot far side under the goalie’s blocker.Skinner cleared the puck along the boards into a pair of Vegas jerseys and the puck came out to Smith in the slot for a Vegas goal 24 seconds into the game.
