A member of the Vegas Golden Knights since their inaugural season, Jonathan Marchessault was an incredible performer during the 2023 Stanley Cup Playoffs earning the Conn Smythe Trophy awarded to the most valuable player in the playoffs. He was second overall in points scored (25), tied for first overall in goals (13, including three game-winners) and led all players in plus/minus (+17). This multi-highlight features some of his contributions throughout the playoffs beginning with Game 6 in the Second Round versus the Edmonton Oilers. In Edmonton on the power play leading 3-2 in the game with under two minutes remaining in the second period, Marchessault scores his third goal for the hatty, helping Vegas pad its lead heading into the third period where they clinched the series to advance to the Western Conference Final. Transitioning to the second play within the multi-highlight, Marchessault scores a huge goal against the Dallas Stars in Game 2 of the Western Conference Final. With just over two minutes to play in the third period and down by one goal, Marchessault receives a great pass from Jack Eichel and buries it to even up the game that Vegas would eventually win in overtime. In the final play, Marchessault gets the scoring started for Vegas in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final with his first of two in the game. On a power play in the first period, he snaps home a beautiful shot past Sergei Bobrovsky to the delight of the home Vegas crowd.
