Shea Theodore Leads Vegas Golden Knights Past Montreal in Game One

Per the NHL: “Theodore (12-33—45 in 61 GP) scored his 12th playoff goal since joining Vegas in 2017-18, which leads NHL defensemen over that span. He also leapfrogged reigning Conn Smythe Trophy winner Victor Hedman (11-33—44 in 56 GP) for the most postseason points among all blueliners since 2018.”

The Golden Knights became the 3rd team in the last 10 years with 3 different defensemen scoring goals in a single postseason game. Vegas defensemen outshot Montreal's defensemen 18-0. pic.twitter.com/Hn6KvEXFLb
