DALLAS, TEXAS - MAY 29: Michael Amadio #22 of the Vegas Golden Knights scores a goal against Jake Oettinger #29 of the Dallas Stars and Thomas Harley #55 of the Dallas Stars during the third period in Game Six of the Western Conference Final of the 2William Karlsson, William Carrier and Jonathan Marchessault are finally getting another chance in the Stanley Cup Final, after the first one that came so quick for the Vegas Golden Knights.in the Western Conference Final.
"That first year was a whirlwind and we maybe took it for granted," said Karlsson, who like Marchessault and Smith has played in all 83 playoff games for the franchise. Adin Hill stopped 23 shots for his second career playoff shutout — both against the Stars. The other was 4-0 in Game 3 last Tuesday, when the Knights were already within one win of clinching the series before Dallas overcame 1-0 and 2-1 deficits in both Games 4 and 5.
"It was definitely our best game of the playoffs and it came at the right time," Cassidy said. "You don’t want to let a team off the mat. After getting a 3-0 lead, there was some chatter about that." The Stars got captain Jamie Benn back after his two-game suspension for a cross-check to the neck area of Vegas captain Mark Stone early in Game 3. But Benn got only one shot on net in his 12 1/2 minutes and was on the ice for two of Vegas’ first three goals.
Nicolas Roy took a shot that deflected off Jake Oettinger’s glove and popped up in the air behind the goalie. Karlsson was charging into the crease when Stars defenseman Esa Lindell raised his stick and swatted the puck out of play, drawing a delay of game penalty.
