Watch: Golden Knights’ Pearson says team finished well

Vegas Golden Knights forward Tanner Pearson scored the final goal in a 5-2 victory against the Philadelphia Flyers at T-Mobile Arena on Thursday.

The win comes two days after the Golden Knights let one slip away against the Montreal Canadiens. Unlike Tuesday’s game, Vegas attacked and continued to attack throughout the game, allowing it to create a nice lead entering the third period.

From there, it was shut down defense and staying on the attack.

“Obviously, the Montreal one wasn’t the finish we wanted,” Pearson said. “That’s not our style of hockey in the third period. So, it definitely was a focus point and talked about between the second and third. We did our job.”

The Golden Knights, however, had to rally again from an early deficit. They fell behind 1-0 after the first period but managed to get back into the game when forward and captain Mark Stone crashed the net and tied it.

It’s this type of leadership that stands out to Pearson.

“He does it night in and night out, right?” Pearson said.
