The Vegas Golden Knights struck first by following the script that has been so successful for them in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, coming from behind to win with discipline, offense and a dash of the unexpected from Adin Hill.
Zach Whitecloud and Mark Stone scored less than seven minutes apart in the third period, Hill made 33 saves that included a highlight-reel stick save with the game tied early in the second period, and the Golden Knights defeated the Florida Panthers 5-2 in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday.
The Golden Knights improved to 8-3 when allowing the first goal in the playoffs. They have nine come-from-behind wins.
“We don’t change anything,” said Stone, the Vegas captain. “We stick to the program. We stick to what makes us successful. We don’t get rattled.”
