Golden Knights vs. Ducks | NHL Playoff Highlights | Game 3 | May 8, 2026

0:00 moves to the wing and on Dylan Coglin

0:04 comes into the lineup for Toddella for Korsack.

0:07 Same lineup for Joel Quenville from the game to the 3-1 victory in Vegas.

0:14 Here is Eel.

0:16 The pass, the shot, the goal.

0:19 Shay Theodore just a minute six into game three.

0:25 It's one nothing Golden Knights as he gets in the zone.

0:30 A little pause, but he knows he's got to get it deep.

0:32 And look at Eel how deep he is in the corner.

0:35 And Theodore, the defenseman for the Golden Knight, Golden Knights here.

0:38 He activates down the middle and he's untouched, unseen.

0:41 And that might have been screened by his own

0:44 player there as Dostell does not see that puck.

0:46 And I think that's something the Vegas Golden Knights needed.

0:49 Win or loss, if there's an area to give someone or the team a boost,

0:53 he's going to do it.

0:55 Here's Oo with room.

0:56 The shot off the blocker of Carter Hart.

0:59 Both these teams went six games deep.

1:02 Big hit behind the net.

1:04 That was Noah Hannipan there.

1:05 Laughed by Chris Ter and the shot from the wing.

1:10 Collected by Mner Vegas.

1:12 The pass for William Carlson.

1:14 Took it off the boards.

1:16 A weak effort off the outside of the net.

1:19 B man by Lucas foul.

1:20 Coming off a big game two in net for Anaheim.

1:24 Here's Leo Carlson.

1:25 He'll flick it back the wrister to the net and it's saved by Harden.

1:30 And you don't want to get into penalty trouble,

1:32 but their penalty kills been stellar.

1:34 Steel and now Martner with the dangerous backand right

1:39 away as the leaders for the Vegas Golden Knights.

1:43 There's Mner, but he's also got Mark Stone with him

1:47 and it's just a little give and goal play there.

1:49 Martin will take the rest.

1:51 He wants to have the puck at all times.

1:52 You see how Stone reads off him.

1:55 Good support and creates a short-handed chance here.

1:57 Yeah, and I think that's one thing Anaheim has to be aware of when you up top.

2:02 Trouba low through traffic and he just missed an end.

2:08 Now Alex with a save made by Carter Hart at NHLShop.com.

2:16 Main three first period.

2:17 Washi one handing a puck to the net.

2:20 Penalty coming up here.

2:21 Johnson and Harkkins because their line has been pretty consistent all year.

2:25 And see how quick Washi came through that area.

2:28 He almost came out of nowhere right here.

2:30 He comes through makes this move and that's where Eichel's in a bad spot.

2:34 Picked up by Brandon trying to find Crider in the corner

2:38 reaching out to try and look it to John Carlson.

2:43 That's Mner skating into the Anaheim zone.

2:46 hands it off for McNab who scores.

2:50 Braden McNab a shorthandhanded goal and it's

2:55 two nothing Vegas and Carter Hart Jody.

2:58 Oh yeah, great save.

2:59 But look at Mner here.

3:01 He knows Carlson's tired.

3:02 He knows he's getting guys from the bench and as McNab comes off there.

3:06 Nice little play by Mner.

3:07 We've seen it a couple times tonight.

3:10 Close quick support and Brett Hen slowed down.

3:13 Krider intercepts.

3:14 They get it back.

3:16 Vegas in for William Carlson.

3:18 And a big stop for Lucas Do.

3:21 Second round.

3:22 And four of the last five times it's happened,

3:24 they've come back to win the series.

3:26 Of course, they lost game two in this series.

3:28 Martner in.

3:29 Big save by Do.

3:30 And they score.

3:31 Mitch Martner.

3:33 And they do get one late on the power play.

3:38 It's three nothing Vegas.

3:41 Drawn up play.

3:42 But puck position as they get this puck.

3:44 They're going to come up the ice and you can see all these ducks

3:49 collapse in the middle of the ice and it's a broken play at the net.

3:53 Romeo on the right side.

3:54 He's going to clean this up and that's

3:56 something they hadn't been able to do with Costal.

3:58 We credit Anaheim for really clearing out the front

4:00 of the net around him on these second chances.

4:02 Doesn't happen on this one.

4:03 No.

4:04 And look at the Vegas Golden Knights.

4:06 Four guys around the net just attacking the net on that good shift

4:10 as that PL line went out with Paling and Senica had some good shots.

4:16 Here we go.

4:18 Colton Sens and Billy Huso.

4:21 Colton Sens with a glorious chance.

4:25 The playoffs on TNT presented by Geico to priest

4:30 and back to Eichel on the far side.

4:35 Here's Eel.

4:36 Now a chance in front and Marty tucks it home.

4:41 Vegas goes up 4 nothing.

4:44 What a passing play by the Golden Knights.

4:48 Going to take the shot here and the Golden Knights come up as a unit here.

4:54 You can see in the middle of the ice it's good support there.

4:57 And as Eeko kicks it, he's going to drive to the net.

5:00 Look at all the space open in the middle for Theodore.

5:02 And he just has a snap at the mer.

5:04 They're coming up as a unit.

5:06 They've got great options and no chance there for uso.

5:09 No, that was just Billy Huso shoveling to the boards.

5:15 Ellison all wrapped up with Dorafa.

5:19 Now a shot.

5:20 Huso standing up at the near post denying Jack Eel.

5:24 Now Eichel back up top.

5:26 McNav a double deflection.

5:28 Huso the save.

5:29 Vegas on it again.

5:30 The pressure just keeps on coming.

5:33 McNav trickles through.

5:34 Great pad save on Barbashev.

5:37 Puck still loose though with a huge stop here.

5:42 Keeps it 4 nothing Vegas.

5:45 Ellison takes Barbers to the boards.

5:49 They tussle.

5:50 Mner in.

5:51 He extracts it.

5:52 Here's William Carlson.

5:54 Drops it for Mner.

5:56 Mner looks.

5:57 Mner shoots.

5:58 And Martyr scores the first hattick in his playoff career for Mitch Martyr.

6:06 And it's 5 nothing Vegas.

6:09 He's got patience and poise.

6:10 Well, I think that's one of the strengths of the Vegas goal of the night.

6:13 So, John Portoella teams defend first and attack second and they come

6:18 back the other way and Mitch Mner takes it behind the net.

6:22 Tucks it right under Billy Uso for a hat-tick here in game three.

6:26 Mitch Mner.

6:27 What a night.

6:28 And how about the play of William Carlson?

6:31 This guy is his third game back all season.

6:34 He's missed six months.

6:36 Come out of the TNT bullpen for one of the finest playbyplay men in the NHL.

6:44 John Forland Michael and a save there by uso.

6:49 Billy Huso with a big stop on Colton Sizz.

6:54 Then the Mitch Martner bus rolled into the parking

6:57 lot of Honda Center and everything changed.

7:01 There's a puck leaking through and Anaheim gets on the board back and it's 51.

7:15 It's a good hard shot.

7:17 Tough angle.

7:18 And you can see Carter Hart maybe hits

7:21 his stick mates first and he thinks he's got it.

7:24 I mean, look at Anderson.

7:25 Everyone's diving there, but Senica beats and wins that race.

7:28 Yeah, it's just going to go inside his right arm.

7:31 He tries to squeeze his arm against the body and hold on to that puck,

7:35 but it was a heavy shot from Kornne.

7:37 Sneak through and Young Becket Senica right to the net.

7:41 Diving knocks that in to get the Ducks on the board.

7:45 Senica's second goal.

7:46 Some action way behind the play.

7:49 And it's again the target is Anderson.

7:51 Yeah, they're still chirping on the way to the bench here.

7:54 They're trying to fire something up.

7:56 Leo Carlson dangles in and a strong glove hand.

8:00 There he is.

8:01 Big man, big body.

8:02 21 years old.

8:03 You can see that second efforting down the line that's out there.

8:06 Here's a puck brace.

8:08 Cole Smith and that's saved by Huso.

8:11 There you go, Jordy.

8:13 That's exactly what you're talking about.

8:15 Life is simpler for for teams when they're on the road.

8:18 Everything's scheduled out for you.

8:19 You just got to show up for the bus and show

8:21 up for the meal and get ready for the game.

8:27 And a score right off the pass to Chris

8:34 Crrier and he makes it 52 heavy on his stick.

8:40 Here's Carlson with the entry.

8:42 He does a good job of possessing the puck.

8:44 Something the Ducks haven't done a lot of here tonight.

8:46 But as he makes that play down low, look at Briner.

8:49 He sits right in the mix, but he stops there.

8:51 He doesn't trip towards the net here where the two Golden Knights are.

8:54 And that gives him enough space to elevate the puck.

8:57 And I think we we talked about the challenge of the Golden Knights here.

9:00 Up five goals.

9:01 You want to get through to the finish line.

9:04 Get out of Kyle Grantland through the top of the goal crease.

9:07 Kept in by Jackson Lome.

9:09 And now Terry from the far boards.

9:11 He'll slide it to the goal line.

9:14 A chance for Grayland and diving across Carter Hart.

9:16 I'm not sure if he got a piece of that.

9:19 Mcome back on the wing.

9:21 Terry into the middle.

9:23 They score.

9:23 No saves it.

9:25 Left piece saved it.

9:26 I thought it went in.

9:28 Shoot it back at Senica.

9:31 There's one off the crossbar.

9:33 Save.

9:34 Here's the cross ice feed.

9:37 That's the crossbar against the Anaheim Ducks as they continue to press.

9:40 A nice job by Hannifan there on that back door on that last play.

9:47 Here's Crider from the blue line.

9:50 And now the empty net and in from way downtown and I believe it was Brett Hen.

10:02 Yeah.

10:03 And as Anaheim trying to push here, they have full control of the puck.

10:06 We can see that little play in the middle of the ice gets

10:09 broken up and then this puck just takes itself into the empty net.

10:12 Yeah, a little extra English on that as almost

10:17 tipped that on the way into the net.

10:21 Didn't need to.

10:22 That will do it as the Vegas Golden

10:26 Knights rebound off the game two loss at home.

10:30 Mitch Mner with a huge playoff
