sudden connect, but you’re just looking for the right combination to get your team back into 
it. And what a chance there for Doria. Dorian does the same. Awaiting the puck is Mitch Mner. Tied 
up by Peshi. It pops out. Stone Dorian scores Norm. Alone on the weak side and the Golden 
Knights have tied it with a power play goal. Mitch Martin is going to pump this puck out and it 
takes a fortunate bounce and then Mark Stone with the back hand and Pavl Dorv air mails his puck 
up and over a sprawling Jake Allen. Dorv just hangs out down there in that one time position.

his body and then trying to go to that glove side and Allen just read it. Jesper Brat 
with a big bag of tricks. Here he comes. He scores a beautiful goal to the roof. Just
