Rielly said he was caught off guard when Barbashev took off out of the zone, leading to the breakaway.
“I don’t think we expected him to keep going,” Rielly said. “Most times on our offensive-zone face-offs, when we win it, the other team goes into a defensive-zone structure, they don’t leave. But it’s on us. It’s on me to be aware of that and adjust when that happens.”
Mason Morelli made it 2-0 at 12:20 when he deflected a point shot from Theodore in the slot.
“It was very cool, obviously, especially scoring here in Toronto. It was pretty cool,” Morelli said of his second NHL goal (fifth game). “Credit to Theodore. It was a really good shot by him. I just thought we played real hard tonight and everyone contributed to the win.”
Bertuzzi cut it to 2-1 at 17:45 when he took a pass from Jake McCabe and had his shot from just below the right face-off dot deflect in off Vegas defenseman Alec Martinez’s skate.
It was Bertuzzi’s fourth goal in the past two games. He had a hat trick in a 4-3 win against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday.
Karlsson extended the lead to 3-1 at 19:09 when he one-timed a pass from Marchessault between Samsonov’s pads from the left hash marks.
Marchessault made it 4-1 at 10:50 of the third period. He put in a rebound after Karlsson’s shot hit both goal posts and popped back into the slot. The goal was his 31st of the season, an NHL career high.
“I thought they did a good job, obviously, and we just kind of got away from our game I think,” Rielly said. “They were opportunistic and they took advantage of their chances.”
Reaves cut it to 4-2 at 14:25 when he put in a pass from Pontus Holmberg on a 2-on-1.
Marchessault scored into an empty net at 18:23 to make it 5-2, and Nicolas Roy converted a rebound at 19:29 for the 6-2 final.
“We definitely played a hard road game, and that’s what we knew we had to do coming in here,” Theodore said. “They have a lot of highly skilled players who like to fill the net and I thought we did a great job.”
