In Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final, the Vegas Golden Knights lose forward William Karlsson to an injury and their performance deteriorates as Carolina takes control. After Karlsson leaves the ice, the Golden Knights take four penalties, which lead to two Carolina power-play goals. Carolina also benefits from goaltending in a pivotal stretch: Carter Hart allows four goals, extending his fourth? (continued) consecutive-game total as described by the reports. The Golden Knights ultimately fall 4-2 to Carolina on Thursday night. With the loss, Carolina moves closer to the championship and the Golden Knights face elimination pressure.

Overall, the sources agree that Vegas’s setback includes the absence of Karlsson and that Carolina capitalizes on special teams, leaving the series highly consequential immediately following Game 5.
