Chandler Stephenson had to check T-Mobile Arena’s video board to see what happened.
Even he had to be surprised with what he saw. The Winnipeg Jets let him glide through the neutral zone halfway through the first period Thursday. Stephenson reached the goal line before looking to slide the puck to captain Mark Stone across the offensive zone.
It never got there. The puck instead bounced off defenseman Brenden Dillon’s skate, past goaltender David Rittich and into the net for the Knights’ third goal in 10:07. It was a perfect summation of their 5-2 victory.
