Mark Stone of the Vegas Golden Knights celebrates after scoring against Colorado Avalanche goaltender Philipp Grubauer during overtime in Game 5 at Ball Arena on June 8, 2021 in Denver, Col. The Golden Knights beat the Avalanche 3-2.Mark Stone scored on a breakaway 50 seconds into overtime as the Vegas Golden Knights overcame a two-goal deficit to beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-2 on Tuesday night and take a 3-2 lead in their second-round series.
Really, though, it was the Marc-Andre Fleury Show, with the Vegas goaltender stopping 28 shots, many of the sensational variety. He stuffed J.T. Compher just 10 seconds into the extra period. “He’s a Vezina candidate for a reason,” Stone said of Fleury, who’s up for the league’s top goaltender award. “He’s the Vezina winner in my opinion for a reason and he stayed strong throughout the whole game.”
