Before Betting On Panthers vs Golden Knights
An intriguing Stanley Cup finals series got underway over the weekend, as the Golden Knights and Panthers clashed in game one of their series on Saturday. It was an exciting opening clash between the two sides, with both teams having their chances to claim victory. However, it was the Golden Knights that showcased their dominant streak, as they netted three in the final period to secure a 5-2 success.
The sides looked incredible even at the half way stage of the clash, as the Golden Knights and Panthers both netted twice across the opening two periods. However, it was Vegas that was able to take their game to a new level, meaning that the pressure will immediately be on the Panthers when they clash for the second time on Monday evening.
The Vegas goals in the victory were scored by four different players, with Shea Theodore, Jonathan Marchassault, Reilly Smith, Mark Stone and Zach Whitecloud all finding the net. Jack Eichel also ended the opening game with two assists on a productive evening for the number nine.
The Panthers were very much in contention for the victory throughout the opening game up until the final period. Anthony Duclair and Eric Staal scored their goals. However, they will need more quality from goalkeeper Sergei Bobrovsky on Monday, as he made just 29 saves from 33 shots in the opening clash between the sides.
