Vegas Golden Knights eye series control as Shea Theodore’s overtime heroics and Jack Eichel’s playmaking spark momentum against the Utah Mammoth. Can VGK’s home ice advantage at T-Mobile Arena tip the balance, or will Utah’s resilience push the series to the brink? Tony Dasco and Chris Gawlik break down lineup dilemmas, including Keegan Kolesar and Tommy Hurdle’s struggles, and debate whether lineup changes—like bringing in Braden Bowman or Ben Hutton—are on the horizon.
Special teams take center stage, with the Golden Knights’ ailing power play and Carter Hart’s up-and-down goaltending drawing scrutiny. The hosts dissect John Tortorella’s approach, Utah’s opportunistic offense, and which adjustments each team must make for game five. Can VGK tighten their defense and reignite their stars, or will the Mammoth capitalize on mistakes? Don’t miss this comprehensive playoff preview and bold game predictions.

Vega$ will find a way to win tonight again . Can not let their foot off the gas all game . Hertl needs to up his game gone silent to long ?
Hart better lock it in. Two bad games in a row now
The Utah Sister Wives are going down tonight. Prediction 4-1
Utah will score less than Smith has Sister Wives.
Dasco “Defense has been bad”… they’re 5th in the shots against of the 16 teams in the playoffs. How does this idiot have a job as a hockey commentator? The “eye test” idiot has yet another horrible take. Fire this moron
I hope Chris seeks help for his gambling problem
Can't hold a lead, gives up dumb stupid goals every game. We would be up by 3 if we had a decent goaltending. This team isn't going anywhere with hart/hill in the net. And i don't see utah going anywhere either. You need more than one line to go deep in the playoffs. All they got going is their goalie is better than ours and guenter and cooley doing all the scoring. And the amount of insane puck luck they've been getting is mind blowing.
Vegas Golden Knights-5
Losetah Fluffy Elephants-3
The Golden knights would have already won the series if not for all of the lucky goals Utah has gotten this series.
Good thing that Korczak is playing tonight. I don’t think he missed the net enough last game😂. Don’t want to put in Hutton because he might shoot on net and get another goal to add to the 6 that he has on his limited games. Management?🙄
if they play well in front of Aiden then anything is possible Chris to ball
Ive only seen 2 goals that I didn't blame Hart for.. love the kid but damn.. truly believe this would have been a sweep if we got some more saves! That being said lets fkn gooooooo VGK!
Tony Bologna once again clueless blabbering… Says D has been bad, umm what lol? If it weren't for bad VGK turnovers and Hart the series would be over already
Tony,, PLEASE RETIRE…..
Surprised Hart starting as Tony Rangers fan seemed to make like Cassidy was forced to play bad signing Hill over even Akira. Theodore when not on PP is kinda wasting his talent. Glad to see playing 2 defense on PP. I thought Utah would win this series best chance of any wild card to make SCF or least CF. So not sure how much longer the overplayed goalie will last. Lyon lost to Boston with weak glove to Florida going with Bob as last resort like Pens figured out Skinner not best option have in net. Part of me wonders if should start Akira or roll Hill in game as doubt Hart can win 16 games. Torts sticking with him being loyal to him is interesting. Mammoth think are better team so if Knights win wont be easy unless Vej gets shredded hehe.
Utah has not peaked, not saying Vegas has but if you think you've seen the best of Utah you might be in for a rude awakening! This has been a fun series though, may the best team win! TUSKS UP!
