Golden Knights Erase 3-0 Deficit, Push Avalanche to Brink · May 24, 2026
Vegas trailed 3-0 after a dominant Colorado first period — a hole the Golden Knights had never escaped in 19 previous playoff attempts — but Stone's return from injury ignited a second-period burst that tied the game through Karlsson and Kolesar. Hertl's third-period backhand from the slot proved the winner in a 5-3 final, pushing Vegas to a 3-0 series lead against the Presidents' Trophy-winning Avalanche.
