Neal scored the tiebreaking goal with 5:37 to play, and the Golden Knights rallied from a late deficit to move to the brink of their first playoff series victory with a 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday night. LOS ANGELES — James Neal has been scoring big goals in pressure-packed playoff hockey games since way before the Vegas Golden Knights were even a gleam in owner Bill Foley’s eye. Marc-Andre Fleury made 37 saves for the Golden Knights, who became the first team to take a 3-0 series lead in this post-season. Quick stopped 23 shots, but the Golden Knights’ three-goal flurry doubled their goal total against the former Conn Smythe Trophy winner from the first 201 minutes of play in this series. The Kings still haven’t won a playoff game at Staples Center since they last raised the Stanley Cup in June 2014.
