MacKinnon didn't even know where he was.
He did come back and and left around 16? min mark of the 2nd.
He then played a bit in the 3rd and the latter part of the third but was clearly not 100%.
Makar played 27 mins.
I'm not sure it matters because it seems very unlikely that they can win 4 straight against this Vegas team.
Only one team in NHL history has lost the first two at home and then the third game and come back to win the series.
I suppose Colorado has more talent than many that tried ... Anything is possible in sports but the odds seem very slim.
I do not think this is a fluke or pure luck. From the 17 minute mark of the 3rd until a couple of minutes to go, Colorado didn't get a shot on goal. The whole series, Colorado has had almost no chances off a rush. Vegas is a big, strong, skilled and disciplined team playing very well in both ends of the ice.
Stone has been a Selke finalist twice. Marner once. Eichel was 5th in Selke voting last year. Karlsson has the best playoff +/- over the last 10 years in the league. They have four top/very good defensive forwards in their top 6. I'm trying to recall when I've seen that before. (probably have but not too often). They've held Colorado to 2.00 GAA. I think they have to be the favorite to win it all. Vegas were the favorites before this game:
