Mark Stone Scores Late PPG in Game 3 for Vegas
Mark Stone scored with seconds left in the third period in VGK@ANA, Game 3, turning Jack Eichel's shot into a power-play goal under Lukas Dostal's arm. The finish broke the late deadlock on a play that began with Eichel and ended with Stone getting just enough of the puck to send it in.
Jack Eichel Starts the Play
The goal came after Eichel set up Shea Theodore for the game opener in the first period, then later fed Stone on the power play for the late third-period strike. Vegas used the same core of forwards and defensemen to keep the pressure on Anaheim through the game's key stretches.
Stone Finishes in Tight Space
Stone got his stick blade on the shot and redirected it through a narrow lane under Dostal's arm. That kind of finish leaves no margin for the goalie, and it gave Vegas the featured scoring moment in the recap of Thursday night's playoff goals.
Vegas Keeps the Pressure On
Mitch Marner also scored on the power play in VGK@ANA, Game 3, with a cleanup chance in front that added to Vegas' scoring on special teams. With Theodore, Marner, Eichel and Stone all involved in the scoring plays, Vegas got production from the same group across the first and third periods.
