Analysis: Honestly didn’t hate that game from VGK’s perspective. They played the game with a bunch of speed and looked dangerous most of the times they were in the offensive zone. Defensively, the blocking game was back on and if it weren’t for some goofy hops and seeing-eye pucks it would have gotten the job done. Special teams was really the biggest disappointment as the PK finally broke and the power play couldn’t bail them out, especially on the two in the 3rd period. Series is tied, VGK are coming home. Road team has been better in the first four games, VGK need to change that in Game 5. (Recap by Ken)
