AT&T SportsNet Replays Best VGK Memories
Over the weekend, AT&T SportsNet continued to share some of the best moments from the history of the Golden Knights. Read below a summary of games from the 2017-18 season that were re-aired on Friday, Saturday and Sunday!
Friday’s #VGKReplay featured the league-leading Tampa Bay Lightning and the Golden Knights. Tampa Bay jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period before the Golden Knights scored three consecutive goals, courtesy of James Neal, Jonathan Marchessault and Erik Haula. The Lightning tied the game late in the third period before Theodore rattled home a one-timer off of a pass from Marchessault with just 2.3 seconds remaining in the game. Marc-Andre Fleury made 35 saves to secure the 4-3 win.
On Saturday, AT&T SportsNet replayed a comeback in Calgary. With about five minutes left in the opening period at the Scotiabank Saddledome, Vegas went on the power play and Reilly Smith tipped in a pass from Jonathan Marchessault to give the Golden Knights the first advantage. The Flames scored twice in the second period to jump ahead, 2-1, and were able to hold off the Golden Knights until the final moments of the third when Erik Haula scored the equalizer at the 18:14 mark of the final period. Just 10 seconds later following the faceoff at center ice, Jonathan Marchessault raced down and fired the puck past Mike Smith to regain the lead. With Calgary's net empty, David Perron scored Vegas' third goal of the period to complete the comeback, 4-2.
Sunday’s #VGKReplay was another thrilling win, this time in Philadelphia. Erik Haula and William Karlsson each scored for Vegas while Claude Giroux and Wayne Simmonds scored for the Flyers as the game went late into the third period tied at 2-2. With 2:40 to go, Ryan Carpenter scored the game-winning goal for Vegas as the Marc-Andre Fleury collected his 400th NHL win.
