Marchessault nets a hat trick, Smith has a goal and an assist, and Karlsson finishes off the Oilers with the...
Five years ago, the Vegas Golden Knights were shocking the hockey world with a run to the Stanley Cup Finals in their inaugural season after many had written off that roster before it even played a game. Leading that team was the “Misfits Line” composed of Reilly Smith, William Karlsson, and Jonathan Marchessault, the three most notable castoffs whose former teams included them as throw-ins to protect other players.
It didn’t take long for the action to get started in the game, and it was fast and furious early on. Smith opened the scoring just 25 seconds in to get Vegas off on the right foot, but they got about 31 seconds to enjoy that lead with Connor McDavid tying the game, and then not even another two minutes after that before they found themselves behind thanks to a goal from Warren Foegele. 2:43 in and Stuart Skinner has a goal against on his first shot against and Adin Hill has two on his first two.
Despite the rough start to the game, Hill came up huge in the third period as the Oilers pressured to get back in the game. In fact, after allowing goals on his first two shots, he stopped the final 38 to secure the win for the Golden Knights. The final misfit got on the board with Karlsson getting the empty net goal, and the Golden Knights took the game 5-2 and win the series in six games.
