Marner scores twice, Golden Knights eliminate Mammoth in Game 6

Marner made it 2-0 at 19:15 of the second period, scoring with a slap shot past the glove of Vejmelka from the top of the right circle.

“I think it was two lines that went out there and really just put their foot down, cycled the puck well, made plays when they were there,” Marner said. “I thought we did a really good job. We had opportunities to get pucks to the net there, but no one was really around it. The two lines just held on to it, wore them down, and then it was a great change by (Jack Eichel), just tried to find high ice there. (Ivan Barbashev) found me, and I was lucky enough to finish it off.”

Yamamoto cut it to 2-1 at 7:41 of the third period with a wrist shot from the right circle that snuck under the blocker arm of Hart and trickled into the net.

“Yeah, it obviously (stinks). Terrible feeling right now for the guys,” Mammoth captain Clayton Keller said. “We fought, gave everything we had, never quit. A lot of ups and downs. It’s fresh right now, but I’ll have some time to reflect. Like I’ve said all series, we’re super confident in one another and our game plan and everything like that. It (stinks), it’s a terrible feeling. When you lose and you go through that pain, that’s when you learn the most, not when you win.”
