Martinook started the play by flipping the puck high into the neutral zone right after he broke up two scoring chances for Vegas in the slot.
“That second (assist) was definitely, in my opinion, a better play,” Jarvis said. “Stopping a goal then creating the transition the other way for me and 'Jordo,' he was evident all over the ice.”
Theodore cut the lead to 3-2 at 9:52, scoring through traffic from the point for a power-play goal.
“Guys were moving. We were playing simple, we were getting on the forecheck," Theodore said. "We were getting a lot of pucks back and getting a lot of opportunities to score. We didn’t cash in as many as we would have liked.
"Going forward, I think we have to try and get back on track faster and try and get the momentum back."
