SALT LAKE CITY (AP) --- Lawson Crouse scored twice in a 5:42 span in the second
period and the Utah Mammoth won the first NHL playoff game in the state,
beating the Vegas Golden Knights 4-2 on Friday night for a 2-1 series lead.
Game 4 of the best-of-seven series is Monday night in Salt Lake City. In Las
Vegas in the first two games, Vegas won the opener 4-2 on Sunday and Utah
replied with a 3-2 victory Tuesday.
The Mammoth are in their second season in Utah after leaving Arizona.
MacKenzie Weegar and Dylan Guenther scored for Utah in the first period, with
Guenther striking on a power play. Crouse had a tip-in at 4:06 of the second
and struck on a long shot at 9:48 to make it 4-0.
Karel Vejmelka made 29 saves for the Mammoth, who had only 12 shots on goal
against Carter Hart. Clayton Keller had two assists.
Jack Eichel got Vegas on the board with 6:40 left in the second. Nic Dowd made
it 4-2 with 3:08 left in the third.
Weegar opened the scoring with 7:01 left in the first, tracking down a feed
from Liam O'Brien and blasting the puck between the circles.
Guenther converted on a power play with 2:14 to go in the period on a slap shot
from the top of the left circle.
