Analysis: Every NHL playoff series plays out a little different than any other one in the past, however, when the Golden Knights get a 3-2 lead after winning Game 5, you can pretty much bet your house that they are going to come out and put in a gem of a game. This is the 5th time they’ve done it, winning the series every time, and being far and away the better team. Really impressive game by utilizing the pressure of the opposing team against them and slamming the door shut. (Recap by Ken)
