The Golden Knights, when they needed one last burst of energy to close out Tuesday’s game against the Vancouver Canucks, got it from two of their key players.
Goaltender Jonathan Quick made a save on four-time 20-goal scorer Brock Boeser with 35 seconds remaining to preserve a 4-3 lead. Center Jack Eichel pressured defenseman Quinn Hughes into a hooking call 12 seconds later to kill the Canucks’ hopes.
It was an impressive finish to a difficult third period for the Knights, who were outshot 16-4 and almost lost a two-goal advantage. But, like they’ve done so often the past two months, they ended the game when they had a chance.
