LAS VEGAS — The Vegas Golden Knights got the result they deserved Friday night, but it took two goals within 45 seconds late in the third period at T-Mobile Arena to get it.
The Knights outplayed the Avalanche for much of Game 3 of their playoff series and got two late goals from Jonathan Marchessault and Max Pacioretty to defeat Colorado 3-2. The Avs lead the series 2-1 with Game 4 here Sunday.
Marchessault used a bank shot off goalie Philipp Grubauer to tie it 2-2 with 5:18 left in regulation and Pacioretty’s redirection off a blast from the point from former Avalanche defenseman Nick Holden gave Vegas the winner.
