That was Mark Stone's 250th goal of his career.
He has 11 goals and 11 assists in the last 14 games, and 51 points in 34 games this season.
He missed 16 games so he won't play 82, but that's an 82-game pace of 123 points.

Incredible tip by Bobby McCann makes it 4-3.
They’re reviewing to see if it was too high. Looked really close.

I don’t know what prompted Adin Hill to suddenly start stacking the pads this season, but the result was a spectacular old school windmill glove save on that one.

Pavel Dorofeyev makes it 3-1 with his 22nd goal of the season.
It was a great defensive play by Mitch Marner at the blue line to not only steal the puck, but keep it in the zone. Dorofeyev cleaned up the rebound off the post.

Toronto is on the board with a goal by Tavares 13 seconds into the 2nd period.
Knies shot hit the post, and was sitting behind Hill. He paddled it out of the crease, but Tavares jumped on the rebound and scored.

The Golden Knights were desperate for a better start.
That'll do.
They were clearly the better team over that first 20 minutes, and carried possession throughout. Goals by Eichel and Kolesar.
Hill only faced one real chance, and made the save.
Lots of boxes checked.

That blocker save by Schmid was so much more impressive than it looked.
Pastrnak walking down with a passing option on the backdoor. Schmid trusted his defenseman and stayed square to the shots and turned Pasternak’s short side shot away rather easily.
