Vegas has received contributions from all four lines this series, including a game-tying goal from its fourth line to setup overtime in Game 1, and the winner from the third line.“When you’ve got Mark Stone on your third line, it’s pretty hard to match up,” DeBoer said before Game 3 when asked specifically if this series would be matchup based.
“He was great,” fellow fourth-line forward Luke Glendening said of Olofsson. “I give him a ton of credit. He’s been working so hard in the gym, and it’s not easy when you’re not in the lineup. I don’t even know when his last game was, maybe two months?” A 0 in the +/- category is a win for the fourth line, as Vegas head coach Bruce Cassidy said earlier in this series. The Golden Knights fourth line is expected to play with any opposing line. It’s a part of their “no passenger” mantra.
