The Vegas Golden Knights will look to take full control of the series tonight in Game 2 against the Vancouver Canucks.
The Vegas Golden Knights will look to extend its series lead to 2-0 tonight as they will once again face off against the Vancouver Canucks. An earlier scheduled puck drop this time at 9:45 p.m. EST, but to be honest that won’t really be a factor in tonight’s game.
The Canucks will be looking to forget about the events that transpired the previous game and wipe it from the memory bank. Robin Lehner got his first postseason shutout and the Knights dominated the Canucks beating them in a 5-0 game.
Meanwhile, the Golden Knights got their offense from five different players being Jonathan Marchessault, Reilly Smith, Max Pacioretty, Mark Stone, and Alex Tuch.

This was one of their best performances of the year and they didn’t let up from the moment the puck dropped all the way to the final siren. They will be looking for a repeat tonight in game 2 to put the Canucks in serious trouble.
Once again look for Robin Lehner to get the start and as usual, we won’t know of any line changes till closer to game time. Another factor we saw in this series was Antoine Roussel trying to get in Robin Lehner’s head during warm-up. He responded with a 26 save shutout so it’s safe to say poke the bear and he will shut you out.
