William Karlsson of the Golden Knights had multiple shorthanded breakaway opportunities during the game against the Devils, but was consistently denied by the New Jersey goalie Allen. Karlsson attempted various moves, including dekes and wide shots, but Allen made key saves each time. The strong penalty kill from the Golden Knights was highlighted by Karlsson's efforts. Karlsson's performance was notable, especially considering his father's background as a former NHL goalie and current VGK goalie coach Sean Burke.
