Terry tied the game 1-1 at 11:49 of the first, scoring the glove side on a breakaway.

“We made plays when we were there,” Terry said. “We just anticipated hard. There’s a lot of things we can clean up, but playing Vegas back-to-back… it was a valiant effort. Boys worked hard. It’s just the differences. They scored a power play goal. We didn’t. The very things that make them a Stanley Cup contender. Those are some of the little things that come with growing up.”

After Hertl’s goal, Dorofeyev made it 3-1 at 14:09 of the third period. He scored a shot from the right circle after Kolesar stole the puck in the attacking zone.

“Kolesar has been watching the people,” Cassidy said. “He’s strong once he gets to where he is and overcomes the vanguard. He has made a concerted effort in that area of ​​the game.”
