With VGK leading 2-1 i the third period, a controversial Barbeshev goal gave the Golden Knights an insurance goal.  He beat the Canes K'Andre Miller after a crossover move, but a replay shows it could have been a slash on the VGK player to get separation.

Pavel Dorofeyev becomes a restricted free agent at the end of the season.  VGK is probably already working on a strategy to resign him.  Kyle Stitch of AFP Analytics tells us Dorofeyev's value during the off-season was $7.2 million times five years.  We are sure that number went up after the hot start by the VGK forward who has five goals, including four on the power play, in three games.  This is...
