8:24 Eel to Barbashev and now the cross corner toss hoping for the return.

8:31 That could have been icing there.

8:34 Doraf springs in front of sets up Barbash.

8:41 The answer by the Golden Knights.

8:57 whole lot to unpack here and the Anaheim Ducks feel as though

9:01 this could have been an icing and you see Lome get to the spot.

9:05 So that was their thoughts.

9:06 Vegas Golden Knights had other ideas.

9:08 They just kept going to work.

9:10 And a really good job of Vegas converging to that.

9:14 Watch the bench.

9:15 Watch Cole Quad head coach Quenville and assistant
