‘Vanek also had a golden opportunity three minutes into the third period on a partial breakaway, but the play was neatly broken up by a diving Erik Karlsson. Both teams came flying out of the gates in a quick and entertaining start. The teams combined for 39 shots on goal in the first period, though neither was able to find the back of the net due to strong goaltending. That total is the most by two teams in a scoreless NHL period since the expansion era (1967), according to the Elias Sports Bureau.’
