In a game between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Montreal Canadiens, goaltender Sam Montembeault made several impressive saves to keep the game scoreless. Jonathan Marchessault had a breakaway opportunity, but Mike Matheson prevented the puck from crossing the goal line. Montembeault also made a glove save on Karlsson's shot. The second period saw a complete turnaround, with Will Carrier giving the Golden Knights a 2-1 lead. Vegas had a successful penalty kill, and Eichel's interference minor led to a power play for Montreal. The game went into overtime with a score of 2-2, and Montembeault continued to make big saves, including a pad save on Eichel's penalty shot.
End of OT, 2-2. Vegas had as many shots in OT as they did the third period.
Sam Montembeault is having the game of his life. What an unbelievable pad save on Alex Pietrangelo.
What a save Montembeault again.
Jack tries to beat Montembeault with a quick release, but Sam makes the save.
Montembeault has made some big stops tonight, none better than that pad save on Eichel's penalty shot. The game continues.
Vegas get the kill. Excellent work on the PK for Vegas tonight.
Another good kill for Vegas. Golden Knights still lead 2-1 with 5:40 to play.
Jack Eichel drives to the net, bumping into Montembeault and earning a goaltender interference minor in the process. He did slow up, but Johnathan Kovacevic still took exception and started a scrum. Montreal gets a power play down one.
Jack was this close to a shorty. Great stop from Montembeault.
End of the second, 2-1 Vegas. If Vegas played a solid first, the second was a complete 180. Luckily for the Golden Knights, Will Carrier found a way to wrestle back the lead.
Vegas get the kill. Then, immediately, Kolesar throws a puck on net. Save Montembeault. Then, Ivan Barbashev hammered the rebound off the post.
Vegas get the successful kill. Karlsson set up Kolesar for a great chance. Keegan did fake out Montembeault. Puck just rolled off the stick.
Jonathan Marchessault gets a breakaway and the puck squeaks through Montembeault...but Mike Matheson is there to swat it away before it crosses the goal line.
Montembeault just robbed Karlsson from point-blank range to keep the game scoreless 6:17 in.
Loose puck comes to Karlsson inches in front of the crease but Montembeault makes an impressive glove save. Fun one so far with chances at both ends.
Great look early for Marchessault. Montembeault comes up with the first big stops of the game.
