It obviously didn’t help that Vegas’ William Karlsson was injured in Game 5, removing Marner’s center from his line. Or that the Golden Knights’ power play went 1-for-9. Or that Carolina made a goalie change, replacing Frederik Andersen with Brandon Bussi, who allowed just five goals in the final three games. Either way, Marner had one assist and was a minus-5 in the final three games, all losses.
