Several thousand Golden Knights fans held their breath Friday night at T-Mobile Arena as the San Jose Sharks cut the lead down to one goal.
But when forward Jonathan Marchessault’s shot from his own end hit the back of the empty San Jose net, they erupted, knowing their team was one win away from advancing to the Western Conference final.
With the Knights’ Game 5 win, Vegas can close out the series with a win on Sunday in San Jose. If they lose, they’ll play a winner-take-all Game 7 at home on Tuesday.
