Lehner didn't have his busiest night, but he was key during the first period,
especially midway through the frame by making big saves on Bo Horvat and Elias
Pettersson during a Vancouver five-on-three power play. The Canucks controlled
the shot clock in the first period but it was the Golden Knights who did all
the scoring, thanks to goals 83 seconds apart by Tuch and Whitecloud.
