The Vegas Golden Knights put their work boots on after falling behind 2-0 early in Game 5.
In the last 8:50 of the first period, the San Jose Sharks were limited to zero shot attempts. Meanwhile, Vegas enjoyed 11, including a Reilly Smith power play goal. The visitors were rolling.
In this stretch, there were three trouble areas for San Jose: Transition, forecheck and execution.
Gustav Nyquist (14) won the puck in the corner and got it up to Tomas Hertl (48). Evander Kane (9) shot forward, but a backchecking William Karlsson (71) read the Hertl lead pass, turning it over.
