"Pavel Dororeyev scored on a rebound 4:10 into overtime, giving the Vegas Golden Knights a 3-2 victory in Game 5 of the teams' second-round Stanley Cup playoff series Tuesday. Dororeyev, who also scored on a power play in the first period, batted the rebound of a Jack Eichel out of the air just inside the left post to end the longest game of the series."
"With the win, Vegas leads the best-of-seven series three games to two heading into Game 6 on Thursday in Anaheim, where another loss would end the Ducks' season. The Ducks' Beckett Sennecke and Dorofeyev exchanged power-play goals in the first period while the Golden Knights Tomas Hertl and Anaheim's Olen Zellweger scored in the third, with Zellweger's goal with 3:05 to play sending the game to overtime."
"Anaheim struck first, with Sennecke opening the scoring midway through the first period. But the goal proved costly since the Ducks traded the score for forward Ryan Poehling, who took a vicious hit from defenseman Brayden McNabb along the boards nine minutes into the game. McNabb drew a five-minute interference penalty and a 10-minute game misconduct on the play, allowing Sennecke to bang in his second power-play goal in as many games 3 1/2 minutes later."
"Two minutes later, Duck goalie Lukas Dostal, who arguably played his best game of the series, made a big play to preserve the lead, reaching out to take the puck off the stick of Vegas winger Mitch Marner at the end of a breakaway. Pavel Mintyukov was whistled for slashing at the end of the play, however, giving Vegas a power play of its own and Dorofeyev quickly converted, scoring on a wrist shot from between the circles for his second man-advantage goal in as many games."
Pavel Dorofeyev scored on a rebound 4:10 into overtime to give the Vegas Golden Knights a 3-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks in Game 5. Dorofeyev also scored on a power play in the first period. Beckett Sennecke and Dorofeyev exchanged power-play goals in the first period, while Tomas Hertl and Olen Zellweger scored in the third. Zellweger’s goal with 3:05 remaining tied the game and sent it to overtime. Anaheim opened the scoring through Sennecke, but the Ducks traded the lead after Ryan Poehling took a hit that led to penalties and another Sennecke power-play goal. Lukas Dostal made a key save late in the second period, but a slashing penalty gave Vegas another power play that Dorofeyev converted. Vegas leads the series 3-2 heading into Game 6 in Anaheim.
