Vegas unable to capitalize on Florida’s mistakes in Game 3 of Stanley Cup Final

The power play that had carried the Vegas Golden Knights to a 2-0 series lead in the Stanley Cup Final wasn’t enough to power them to a victory Thursday night.

“I thought we did a lot of things correct,” Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy said. “We just couldn’t get the next one to, you know, put the nail in the coffin, so to speak. And they hung around and did a good job. They got to the front of the net. They’ve done it before. You’ve got to give them their sure credit. And overtime, you never know.

The Panthers entered what a few players described as a must-win game harping on the need to play smarter after penalties have dominated their play in the first two games. “We have a lot of confidence in our team to produce offence,” Tkachuk said. “We’ve been a top team all year at five-on-five, so just because we’re playing in the Stanley Cup Final doesn’t mean we need to change up a whole lot of things. We definitely had to make some tweaks going into this game that were going to make us more successful than we were in Vegas. And we definitely were.”
