Hertl’s Late Heroics Power Golden Knights Past Hurricanes, 5-4

This one had the feel of a playoff game even before the final horn, with both teams trading blows and nobody getting much breathing room. Tomas Hertl ended up in the middle of the chaos, and that is exactly where big-time centers tend to show up when games get messy. A 5-4 finish tells you the defense took the night off, but the real story is which side handled the pressure when the ice got small.
