Analysis: The middle frame was troublesome for the Golden Knights once again and it forced a tall hill to climb against a team that’s growing in confidence in the Anaheim Ducks. VGK turned the tide in the 3rd and looked like the team that has dominated this matchup for the better part of a decade. They were relentless and found a way all the way back to tie it. Unfortunately, another Theodore turnover cost them in overtime. (Analysis by Ken)
