Stephen R. Sylvanie-Imagn Images It was a strange night for the Vegas Golden Knights and Calgary Flames, not because of the result, but because of how it all unfolded. During the second intermission, play was delayed for an unusual reason: an issue with the ice surface.
Both captains, Mark Stone and Mikael Backlund, made multiple trips from the bench to inspect the conditions and talk with the referees. Arena staff worked to fix the problem, while the in-game entertainment rolled on, staying true to the Las Vegas atmosphere. The delay lasted 26 minutes and disrupted the flow of an already back-and-forth game.
Despite that, the Golden Knights stayed perfect under head coach John Tortorella, continuing to build momentum late in the season, moving to 34-26-16 and beating the Flames 6-3. Calgary opened the scoring with Morgan Frost netting his 19th goal of the season. Frost had time and space in front and beat Carter Hart cleanly.
Hart finished the game with a . 864 save percentage and 3. 00 goals-against average.
