Oilers Rally with 3 goals in the 3rd goal, defeat Golden Knights in game 1

Mark Stone scored twice and Hill made 24 parades for the golden knights, which are the No. 1 seeds from the Pacific.

Game 2 of the best-of-7 series will take place here on Thursday (9:30 p.m. ET; ESPN, SN, TVAS, CBC).

“In the second period we were caught at the wrong end of the momentum swing,” said Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy. “… we never got sustainable pressure, right? So we couldn't get the opportunity to put them down. I think we are usually good in our transition in the second period. Obviously they also have the advantage there.”

Stone gave the Golden Knights a 1-0 lead with a power play goal at 2:13 of the first period, when William Karlsson was distracted by Theodore's point shot on the left post from his shin.

Stone scored his second period at 9:03 a.m. to do it 2-0. He took a pass from Jack Eichel as the trailer on a hurry, ran around a sliding Corey Perry and excluded Pickard from the right hash markings.

“Not the result we wanted,” said Stone. “There were some good parts of the game, some bad parts of the game. We will go through it and prepare for the game on Thursday evening because it will be a great value for us.”
