Marchessault backs up strong words as Knights down Jets to even series 1-1
WINNIPEG — Jonathan Marchessault gave a blunt assessment of the Vegas Golden Knights’ pedestrian effort in Game 1 of the Western Conference final.
The winger backed up his strong words in impressive fashion Monday to help write the latest chapter in the first-year club’s surprising story.
Marchessault scored twice and Marc-Andre Fleury made 30 saves as Vegas defeated the Winnipeg Jets 3-1 to send the best-of-seven series to Sin City tied at a game apiece.
After the Knights fell behind 3-0 early in Saturday’s 4-2 loss to open the third-round matchup, Marchessault stated: “We’re going to see what kind of team we are.”
