"He's an important piece to us: up the middle of the ice, a penalty-killer, power-play guy. He's a winner," Tortorella said. "But having said that, it's all good stuff. He's not going to be with us, probably. We've got to find a way to fill that void, not with just one guy but as a team." Vegas had started Game 5 with energy, capitalizing on an early Carolina delay-of-game penalty when Pavel Dorofeyev scored on the power play to give the Knights a 1-0 lead.
