Vegas are in great shape and do incredible things offensively even in the playoffs. The Knights are the highest scoring team in this Stanley Cup, yet they don’t concede too many. Note that in the opening match with Vancouver they looked much more active and made a total of 39 shots, five of which hit the target. So, in one period the team of Peter Debourg inflicted at least 12 shots. By the way, Robert Lehner was playing at the goal again and Fleury was on the bench. Many fans are unhappy that the Canadian has played only two matches in this playoff and want to see him on the court in almost every game. However, Lehner is doing a good job.
Jazz showed themselves in their inherent style, as the team play came to the fore again. After the annoying defeat in overtime (125-135), the impression was that the club would fall apart and give the initiative to the opponent, but that was not the case. Utah picked up steam and left Denver with nothing three times. Donovan Mitchell’s fantastic actions did not go unnoticed, since without his leadership qualities the team would hardly be leading in the series now. Queen Snyder’s charges are already in the quarterfinals with almost one foot, but first they will have to work hard to deal with the Nuggets for the fourth time.
