One-time tip, redirect in front. Stone was knocked down as he tipped it on goal in his first year as head coach of the Chicago Blackhawks. With speed and across the line, one-time right on is approaching 800 games in his fine NHL career. across for McNab. Got it the one time of Theodore with traffic in front of the net and there is no rebound from Spencer Knight. Turned right over. Eel able to squirt it free, but nobody can get home. Break it away. Here’s Donado. Takes a look. The backhand is stopped by Carter Hart, but a penalty coming up. Set that play. And here are the Hawks doing a nice job of playing from the boards and then coming through the middle. Donado off to the races or so he thinks. Good back pressure by Barbashev.

Pick it up here. Left hand save and then the glove save for Spencer Knight. Kasar couldn’t get there. Reinhardt finishes his check nicely on Burikovski. Lastiglets to fly. Stick save for Carter Hart.

He’s changed side of the net. Hart wants to jump on it now and does so. Crazy carum off the boards. Hart had to be ready for that off the straight. Really scrambly play. Hart gives it up for shot and it goes. Carter Hart two years away out of the NHL. I talk about timing and reads and this is one of those 50/50 plays and Carter Hart thought he had a chance on it which is why he went out to play it. Your first instinct is usually your best but sometimes you want to be a little more conservative in a play like that and he has 15 points in his last 10 games. Here’s Bard wrist shot rocking it off the blocker of Carter Hart. a lot of time. 90 seconds. We’re at the four on four. Here’s Vic. Get across the line.

Knight got the first one. Didn’t have to make a second save. Vegas Golden Knights getting to their set. Spencer Knight makes a save but control the rebound. In fact, he may have gotten that second one. That loose change is available. Vegas just unable to convert on it. Another opportunity for Martyr and Nazar comes out of the box. That was deflected out of play with his blocker on McNav. There’s that. And that’s uncharacteristic of how dominant they’ve been here right from the outset in their inaugural season. Of course, Vegas had the one- nothing lead very early in the game. side of the net to skate it in. That might have gone in off of Grizzlick. We’ll see in across the line. Look at this. Couldn’t make that one last move. set up pretty well here. Here’s a chance shot and a glove save. Bowman got it away. The youngster to that of my good friend, the great Henrik Lungquist when he came in with us for the New York Rangers. They probably got the highest paid player in the game at the pres. Hart makes another stop there off the face off. Great defending. Good shift by Vegas, but good defending by Chicago. Gris got just enough of the body in the stick. Now looking to break the other way. Look out. Here’s 98. It is Bard. Cuts in, shoots, and scores. Are you kidding me? Conor Bard putting on a show in Las Vegas. Watch this play by the Chicago Blackhawk. I talked about good defensive detail. Now watch Conor Badar outside, inside. Chicago came in tight, one point out of the last wild card in the West. Side of the net. That might have caught some iron, too. Yeah, that save was clutch for Carter Hart right now in the Vegas Golden Knights. We knew he’d have to make at least one more to keep it a one-goal game. Give his chance team a chance. Here’s Eel. Maybe this is a chance in front. Vodor is robbed by Spencer Knight. The rebound goes in. Nine seconds left. Maybe last chance in regulation for Chicago.
