The Vegas Golden Knights, who were minutes away from falling three games down in their second-round series with the Colorado Avalanche, now have a chance to take control of the series Tuesday night.
Vegas had trailed 2-1 late in Game 3 on Friday night, but in a span of 45 seconds the Knights had grabbed a 3-2 lead and held on for the victory. They followed that with a dominant 5-1 win in Game 4, and they have all the momentum in this series heading into the pivotal Game 5 in Denver.

With the series at 2-2, a third consecutive victory would give the Knights a chance to close out the series at home on Thursday night, and they’re feeling confident heading to Denver, although the Avalanche have been much tougher playing at home.
