Avalanche vs. Golden Knights | NHL Playoff Highlights | Game 4 | May 26, 2026

And once again McKinnon and Eichel for the opening face-off, and away we go as McMurray will start off with a putt. Works his way out to center, Stone has got it, Stone waits, got it around Kimura, to McNabb, to the net! McMurray, down side of the wall, jamming at it. The way, if not for the extra effort, and then McNabb with a nice look, it had vision of the Marner to Stone goal in game three where you look like you're going to shoot, but. Luckett trying to catch up to it at center, here comes Landisgaard, drops for McKinnon, sends it across to McCart, throws it on net, and it's clubbed by Carter Hart. But Theodore will come up with it, played it for McNabb, he has Stone on the break, he's got it! Mark Stone, opening goal of game four after being the wide receiver, he was open well down lane and got the touchdown pass. You could see it coming, he was wide open. McKinnon won the draw, Landisgaard spins and shoots, blockered away by Hart. Manson, down back of the net for McKinnon. There's Hannafin with it, Hannafin, breaks his way in, snaps it on goal, Buck with the save. Polonsky, kick and a no! Houghton, going into the last one! Buck would show Pochek early, maybe that fooled Houghton. Over-thought it at the last second going to the net. Buck lifted back in as Carlsen goes after it, collides with Polonsky. Kelly will pull it out. Parker Kelly, lays it up ahead for O'Connor, now Hua back for Kelly. Over the line, snaps it on net, Hart the save. Daines on it, hands it off for McKinnon. McKinnon shooting, can't get it through, another shot, that one made it through. Hart with the save, Theodore will lift it high in the air and get it up for Hurdle. Hands it up for Dowd, he'll lift it to the corner. Thought it would go in the corner, it was gloved by Blackwood there. Drury got a piece of it, kept in by Coghlan. Barbashev on the front, centered in front, poked away by Kibiranta. Coghlan fires it on net, Buck with the save and he'll cover it up. Now up the middle, Brock Nelson breaking in. So he made by Hart. You know the hamster's running in the wheelhouse there and he's like, what is happening here? He's expected to put some production on the board. He's had opportunity, not a lot to show for it. There comes McKinnon, checks up, gets away from it now. McKinnon dropped it from a car with a shot. Bouncing in the crease. Hart trying to get a piece of it, Stone will throw it away. O'Connor, tangled up by Smith. In comes Kortek, Smith has got it. Rolling punch, set and a down. Snapped it on net and Blackwood will squeeze it and hold on. Hannifin takes it. Bolton's cut it off. Bolton to the net, Hart with an easy save. Michael, trying to clear it. Barbeshev, one hand on the stick, got it over the door. He's hit it center by Burns. Barbeshev, on the puck, Carlson going to the net. Tipped it out of the air and Blackwood makes a save. What a deflection by Carlson though. But after the contact, Carlson goes to the net and once again, like Stone's breakaway, nobody is picking up anybody going to the net or leaving the zone. Nelson comes up with it. Brock Nelson for Taves. Right over to McCollough. Back to Taves. Taves with a shot off the blocker of Hart and it's over the glass. Burns turning away from Howden. Burns then put it right off the foot of Howden. Chance up front. Marner with a shot. And a club save made by Blackwood. Vegas won the draw. Here's Marner. Marner with a shot. Click with the save. Rebound and Eichel can't get a stick on its side of the net. You know, he loves to fake it like he's shooting and he's looking for people off the side. This one, he goes right to the net and there's a rebound as it goes through Hurdle, who's right in front and Taves does a really nice, right, great. Comes back to Marner. Marner hands it off for Eichel. Taves trying to get a shot right on by Hurdle and it's squeezed by Blackwood. Kahle McCarr. All right, holds on. McCarr trying to go short side on Hart. He knocks it down with his arm and then is able to get the whistle. Final seconds of the power play. Will take off as Nelson weaves his way in. Nelson with a chance. Hart the save. Great save by Hart. And then he realizes the change is going on. There's only three Vegas Knights, so he attacks the middle of the ice. What a nice move. There's Marner with a chance. Hands it off. Shot towards the net. Blackwood with the save off of Carlson. Throws it down towards the net. Burns will intercept. A walk. Can't clear it. There's Stone in front of Hurdle. The bargain here with some really nice saves. Stone lays this one through and Burns shatters his stick arm. Right across the line. All aboard Stone. First mid. To down. Shut a line. Carroll found a little room. Perfectly and now down. Three great opportunities. I don't know if that went off. Backs up to the line. Gave it off to Marner. Saved by Blackwood. Two starts. He's been pulled once. Mackenzie Blackwood is fighting here right to the end. Back for Eichel. Watched by Kiviranta. He'll break free. Eichel into the slot. Shooting. He's down Hurdle. Marner to Dorothea. What a save by Blackwood. Eichel cuts right across the front of the net here. Looking like he's going to shoot and he does. Blackwood with a save. Marner takes it off the glass. He's got it again. Dorothea. Saved by Blackwood. Splashing the leather. Half up Dorothea. His job of getting it out of harm's way from Hurdle. And then Dorothea from the other side looks to go short side, glove side. And Blackwood on his way down. Barbyshev on the boards with it. Barbyshev. To Hedefin. Shooting. That one hit Blackwood. He didn't see it. On ahead from Natchez. Dropped it off. McKinnon. Drive flips it in front. It's up. Bouncing back. And McColl can't get it. On the rush. They're going to enter the zone here. And McKinnon's going to keep it outside. Remember last time he cut in. This time he kept it outside. And he dumped it in. And Taze is at the net. He knows the time is ticking down. So there's no sense hanging back. Get into the front of the net. See if you can create some traffic. McCar comes in. And what a beautiful shot block. What he wanted to get on it. He's going to just walk around Hedefin. And as Hedefin spins around, I think he whacks it on the hand. Watch the stick come around as he's going to fire it. Right there on the wrist of the hand. That caused the shot. McNabb trying to get it by Arturi Leckinen to keep it in. Comes back to Carlsen. Carlsen walking in. Shooting. Kicked up by Manson. Rebound. Blackburn gets across and stops it. Carlsen's going to get a couple of really good looks. He walks in on this one. Tries to go low on the short side. It's a nice kick save. And then as he fires this thing, he's going to keep tracking to the net. Manson goes inside. And he gets another shot at it. And across comes the right pad. And then the last one. Through trap that Carlsen doesn't like. Now Kolisar to down. Back to the break. From the front. Carl Smith. Hooked in front of it. And leads it to now Smith here. Not attested. He is by himself at Coghlan. With a beautiful shot. Just on the ice. Changing directions. Oh, so little. Right there. And I don't believe Mackenzie Blackwood sees this puck coming. Smith with a good screen. It finds its way through. Five minutes and four. He'll carry it over the line by Nelson. McKinnon to Makar. The big boys on the ice there. Both Blackwood. And here comes the last call for Colorado. Nelson with a point. Neches. He'll shoot. Touch goes. Neches with a shot deflected in front. And with 2.03 to go here in the third. The Avalanches get on the board. As Landisgaard deflects it home. Into the Colorado Avalanche. Makar takes it to the net. It gets turned back. But then Kadri gets it at the blue line to Neches. I thought he was going over to McKinnon. And then to the net. Instead, he comes straight inside. And Landisgaard, who's battled his way into the high slot. Gets a deflection. And a great bounce. As this one gets by Carter Hurt. Not going to go. It's stopped by Eichel. The Vegas Golden Knights have swept the President's Trophy winners. And are going to the Stanley Cup Finals. The best team won this series. They were the best team in a lot of areas. And congratulations to Kelly McCrimmon, George McPhee, John Tornarello, the entire coaching staff, and the players of the Vegas Golden Knights. NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly will now present the Clarence Campbell Bowl to the Western Conference Champion, Vegas Golden. Accepting the trophy is Team Captain Mark Stone. 26th Vegas Golden.
