Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 13:25:48 GMT

The Golden Knights must get production from its two superstars - Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner - if they are to capture the second Stanley Cup in franchise history. Those two players are the points leaders in the playoffs currently. Yes, the supporting cast must deliver, but Eichel and Marner must continue their scoring and playmaking to ignite their teammates. We talk about the coaching matching as both John Tortorella and Rod Brind'Amour pride themselves to tight defense, blocking shots, and playing aggressive on offense.

Sweep!

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 27 May 2026 13:40:02 GMT

The Golden Knights completed the four-game sweep of the President's Trophy-winning Avalanche with a hard fought 2-1 victory over the Avs at the Fortress Tuesday night. The story of the game and the series was the teams suffocating defense, blitzing the puck, neutralizing the Avalanche through the neutral zone, covering passing lanes and blocking shots. John Tortorella said the team "checked our asses off." Captain Mark Stone and Cole Smith scored the goals for VGK. Carter Hart saved 20 of 21 shots in the game. We talk about Mark Stone's contributions - scoring two key goals since his return in the series. And is the long layoff going to be good or bad for VGK?

RESILIENCE: VGK comes back from a three-goal deficit, looks to end series Tuesday

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 25 May 2026 13:32:29 GMT

The Golden Knights rallied from a three-goal deficit for the first ever in the playoffs to pull off a comeback win over the Avs 5-3 to put themselves a win away from the Stanley Cup Final. VGK erased the 3-0 first period lead by tilting the ice in the second. They finished off a power play opportunity in the period on a Marner to Stone connection. William Karlsson and Keegan Kolesar also potted their first goal of the playoffs. There was a contraversial play in the first period that could have cut the margin to a goal behind for VGK, but a Pavel Dorofeyev goal was waived off on a apparant hand pass, according to the refs after a review. VGK took the lead for good in the third as Tomas Hertl scored on a nifty backhander and Brett Howden put the finishing touch with an ENG. VGK's depth contributed to the win. Mark Stone, who returned from injury, scored. Tomas Hertl had a goal and an assist. Five players had two points for the Golden Knights. The Avs injuries are mounting. Cale Makar returned after a two-game absence but struggled to shoot the puck with a shoulder injury. Nathan MacKinnon blocked a shot off his knee and was hobbled. Val Nichushkin was injured and missed time in the game. For VGK, Cole Smith injured his left wrist or arm when he ws checked into the boards and potentially can be out of the lineup Tuesday.

The Vegas Golden Knights overcame a three-goal deficit to defeat the Colorado Avalanche, 5-3, in Game 3 of the Western Conference Final on Sunday night at T-Mobile Arena, taking a 3-0 series lead.

The Avalanche jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period of Game 3 of the Western Conference Final as Gabriel Landeskog opened the scoring at 3:21, Nazem Kadri doubled the lead just over seven minutes later, and Jack Drury added a shorthanded breakaway goal with 6:45 remaining in the frame. The Golden Knights responded immediately in the second period when Mark Stone scored on the power play just 19 seconds into the period off a setup from Mitch Marner and Tomas Hertl. William Karlsson cut the deficit to 3-2 at 4:05 of the second by burying a rebound from Marner’s shot, before Keegan Kolesar tied the game later in the period by tipping Dylan Coghlan’s point shot and backhanding the loose puck over the line.

Tomas Hertl completed the comeback in the third period, giving Vegas its first lead of the night at 8:21 with a highlight-reel backhand goal after beating Sam Malinski off the rush. Brett Howden sealed the 5-3 win with an empty-net goal from the Vegas blue line in the final minute. Carter Hart made 32 saves, including 19 over the final two periods, as the Golden Knights took a commanding 3-0 series lead.

Hertl finished with a goal and an assist for first-star honors and scored his first postseason game-winning goal with Vegas. Stone recorded two points in his return to the lineup and scored his franchise-record 40th playoff goal with the Golden Knights. Marner added two assists for his sixth multi-point game of the postseason, Karlsson posted a goal and an assist with a game-high plus-three rating, and Kolesar scored his first goal of the playoffs.

Hertl has seven points in his last six games, while Howden’s 10 postseason goals are tied for the NHL lead with Pavel Dorofeyev. Karlsson’s 76 career playoff points rank second in franchise history, and Marner became only the fifth player in NHL history to record at least 14 assists in his first 15 postseason games with a team.

Locked On Podcast Network — Sat, 23 May 2026 14:22:53 GMT

VGK's top line fueled the 3-1 Game 3 win over the Avalanche to take a commanding 2-games-to-none lead in the Western Conference Final. Ivan Barbashev had two goals and a assist, Jack Eichel scored the tying goal in the third period and Pavel Dorofeyev had two assists in the win. The Avs got on the board first on the Ross Colton goal late in the first period. But Colorado appeared to try and milk the lead before Eichel and Barbashev scored goals in the third period over 2:07. VGK will try to expand the lead to 3-0 Sunday afternoon. The teams are still missing key pieces with Mark Stone and Cale Makar out of action again in Game 2.
