Forward Reilly Smith says the Vegas Golden Knights have one goal as they head into Thursday night's Game 6 of their Stanley Cup Western Conference semifinal series with the Vancouver Canucks in Edmonton.
"We're going to come into tomorrow's game just to try to step on their necks and end this," Smith said.
The Golden Knights lead the best-of-seven series, 3-2, but come in off a frustrating 2-1 loss on Tuesday night. Vancouver goalie Thatcher Demko, subbing for injured starter Jacob Markstrom, stopped 42 shots in his NHL postseason debut.
Vegas finished with a huge 43-17 edge in shots on goal but still couldn't find a way to put the Canucks away as Elias Pettersson snapped a 1-1 tie in the third period when he redirected a Brock Boeser shot past Robin Lehner.
