Lehner, Golden Knights Shutout the Canucks
Vegas goalie Robin Lehner made 26 saves to help the Golden Knights beat Vancouver in NHL playoff action
Vegas Golden Knights goalie Robin Lehner recorded his first career playoff shutout in a 5-0 win over the Vancouver Canucks 5-0 in NHL playoff action Sunday.
Lehner turned aside 26 shots as the Golden Knights grabbed a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven second-round series.
Reilly Smith, Jonathan Marchessault, Alex Tuch, Mark Stone, and Max Pacioretty did the scoring for the Golden Knights, who are now 8-and-1 since play resumed after the league shutdown in March.
Vancouver starting goalie Jacob Markstrom, making his 11th consecutive playoff start, stopped 29-of-34 shots and was pulled midway through the third period for Thatcher Demko after allowing the fifth goal.
Game 2 goes Tuesday at Rogers Place in Edmonton.
