Vegas opens Stanley Cup semifinal with 4-1 win over Montreal

Associated Press  

LAS VEGAS — The Montreal Canadiens’ rich history didn’t mean much when it came to facing upstart Vegas Golden Knights on Monday night. Shea Theodore had a goal and an assist, Marc-Andre Fleury made 28 saves and the Golden Knights beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-1 in the first game of the Stanley Cup semifinal. Theodore’s first-period goal gave Vegas a 1-0 lead and marked the first time the Canadiens trailed in a span of 437 minutes and 53 seconds, the NHL’s second-longest playoff run. “That’s always big when you can get contributions from different places.” Rookie Cole Caufield scored his first career playoff goal for Montreal, while goaltender Carey Price made 26 saves. Obviously not the result we wanted but we’ll be back Wednesday.” INJURY UPDATE Golden Knights forward Tomas Nosek, sidelined since sustaining an undisclosed injury in Game 2 in the first round, missed his 12th straight game.
