In a recent hockey game, Mark Stone scored a power-play goal for the Vegas Golden Knights, cutting the deficit to a 4-2 Ducks lead, with an assist from William Karlsson. Karlsson's playmaking skills were on display as he drew the defense and goalie to one side, allowing Stone to score from the slot. Alec Martinez also contributed to Vegas' score with a goal, making it 4-1 after Paul Cotter's successful neutral zone reload and drive to the net, finding Martinez in a soft spot in the slot. The new line of Cotter, Karlsson, and Jonathan Marchessault was particularly effective, with Marchessault setting up a one-timer for Alex Pietrangelo that was saved by Cam Talbot. Cotter's hard work behind the net set up Karlsson's goal, extending Vegas' lead to 3-1 and showcasing the line's chemistry as they outworked the opposition, notably with Cotter outmaneuvering a King to assist Karlsson's goal.
Cotter to Karlsson at the doorstep and he beats Talbot to make it 3-1 Knights. Nice setup by Cotter.
That line has been cooking all night and they get rewarded. Cotter from behind the net to Karlsson. 3-1
The Karlsson, Marchessault, Cotter line has been all over the net all night. Marchessault nearly put in a highlight reel one and then Cotter outworked a King in deep to set up Karlsson. Huge goal for team psyche there. 3-1 VGK
VGK Goal - Hosts answer through Karlsson. Cotter with the pass from below the goal line, charging Karlsson finishes. 3-1.
Paul Cotter feeds William Karlsson for a one-timer in the low slot to extend the lead to 3-1. That was a heck of a play by Cotter to use his body to wall off the defender, buy time and find Karlsson in front.
William Karlsson. 3-1 Vegas. An excellent shift from Paul Cotter. A great response from Vegas. Wow.
New line of Cotter-Karlsson-Marchessault off to a strong start. Marchessault sets up Pietarngelo for a one-timer that was saved by Talbot.
Mark Stone cuts the deficit to 2 with a one-timer from the slot on the power play. Great play by Karlsson to threaten that short side before making the pass. Not only did it attract coverage from Fowler, but it forced Gibson to cover that post, opening the far-side of the net.
Mark Stone. PPG. 4-2 Ducks. What a pass from Karlsson as he walks out of the corner.
Nice play by Paul Cotter to gain entry, drive to the net and find Martinez in the slot. Martinez scores to make it 4–1.
Great reload in the neutral zone by Cotter, who finds the seam to Martinez. Heck of a shot.
Vegas gets one back. Martinez finds a soft spot in the slot and fires home a pass from Cotter. #FlyTogether
