Then, the referee waved it off for goalie interference and gave Vegas a power play that changed the momentum of the game and possibly the series. Mark Stone scored the tiebreaking goal on that power play and the Golden Knights responded after the first-period collapse to beat the Sharks 5-3 on Friday night to tie their playoff series at one game apiece. “For our power play to come out and really bear down was obviously a big swing,” Stone said. Couture, Tomas Hertl and Joe Thornton scored for the Sharks, who were doomed by the lacklustre start and a poor power play. The Sharks had chances to tie it with an early power play, but allowed a goal on a breakaway from Karlsson instead to fall behind 5-3.
