The Vegas Golden Knights are in full control of Game 3 after a four-goal outburst in the second period. Mitch Marner logged a natural hat trick as the Golden Knights now lead the Carolina Hurricanes 4-0, and Vegas is 20 minutes away from a 2-1 series lead in the Stanley Cup Final.<\/p>\n
After starting the period watching two goals get waived off — one for offside and one for goaltender interference — the Golden Knights simply turned up the pressure. Mitch Marner led the charge with three consecutive goals, and he now owns the franchise record for points in a single postseason with 28 and counting.<\/p>\n
The Hurricanes simply collapsed after a pretty solid first period. Carolina’s disastrous stretch began with a too many men penalty that led to a Tomas Hertl power-play goal, and it couldn’t get out of its own way after that.<\/p>\n
It probably goes without saying this game is immensely important, and the historical data backs that up. Teams that win Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final when the series is tied 1-1 have won 77.4% of the time. Road teams that win Game 3 in these situations have won the series 83.3% of the time. That number is 67.0% for the home team.<\/p>\n
