Recap: The Devils took the first lead 1:41 into the game but Vegas would respond later in the opening period. Defenseman Dylan Coghlan ripped a shot on the power play from below the blue line to tie the game 1-1.
Vegas took control of the game in the second period receiving a tie breaking deflection off the stick of William Carrier. The Devils outshot the Golden Knights 15-7 in the middle frame but still trailed 2-1 heading into the second intermission.
William Karlsson and Nic Roy extended Vegas’ lead to 4-1 in the first eight minutes of the final frame but New Jersey scratched back. Former Golden Knight Tomas Tatar cut the lead in half and minutes later the home team scored again to threaten Vegas’ 4-3 lead. The Golden Knights settled down and regained their two goal lead with an empty net goal from Jonathan Marchessault.
The Golden Knights record improves to 18-11-0 after defeating the Devils 5-3. Vegas’ road trip continues tomorrow for an emotional matchup against former coach Gerard Gallant’s NY Rangers. Puck drop against the Rangers is scheduled for 4 PM. (Recap by Jason)
Analysis: Vegas conceded first, but they controlled the game for the majority of the first half of it. Holding on to a one-goal lead they let the Devils grow into the game, but the transition game came through twice in a hurry to basically put the game out of reach… even if they came back and made it close.

Lehner just got thrown out for refusing to stop trying to fight people. Love it.

See. There was no way the Golden Knights were going to lose this game.

2017-18 William Karlsson has entered the building.
When he shoots, he scores. My goodness what a shot.
— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) December 17, 2021
Really nice pass off the wall from Howden. Has multiple people draped on him and he's able to move it to set up the space for Kolesar and Carrier.
VGK are just so much better than this team.

knights fan in minny
how about the fire in the belly of the netminder
TS
I think tums would work for our goalie since you say he has heartburn…
Go LVGK
The REAL TS
How about Gardening? Knitting?Better hobbies than pretending to be ME. . Come on, man…aren’t you tired of BEING AN IDIOT??
The Reel TS
Maybe fishing…after all, I’m the reel TS
Daryl
Total embarrassment… His actions shows why he is a little bitch. He’s going to hit/tap a player from behind with his stick then run away like a little girl.
Then add Petra with his butch move to throw punches at player that is being held in a headlock by another player.
Just another reason to not like either player
The REAL TS
Petra definitely gave a few cheap shots— NOT a good look. Knights usually play a fair game…I didn’t see that brawl coming!
Daryl
Funny thing is, players and fans were complaining about the line that was put out, which I understand, but it wasn’t NJD who really initiated things. Yeah that was a late tap by NJD player but Petra was the one with the high stick and I believe McNabb who jumped him from behind. And I believe it started from the hit on Hughes from Whitecloud, which I’m good with
TS
“Usually play a fair game…”
I’m a big part of the dumbest fan base in all of sports!
Go LVGK!
knights fan in minny
no your the dumbest person of the black race malt liquor drinkers
TheChosenOne
Dang, the end wasn’t pretty! Big brawl going on and even Lehner lost his cool!
Daryl
Then ran like a little bitch
Justin
Huh, Lehner ran? What game were you watching??
THE hockey GOD
@justin, ignore him everyone knows he lives in a single wide out by Area 51 and they only get ‘head-up-your-bum” TV networks out there.
Everyone knows walruses can not go backwards, and a review of replay clearly shows him going sideways. It’s posted on sinbin twitter feed.
Justin
He was ejected, that’s a bit different than running….
Daryl
He was ejected for the slash not for anything else. And yeah, he ran like a bitch. He slashed the guy to the far right of his netthen backed up almost to the left side of his net. So yeah, maybe he didn’t turn and run, he just continued to backup until teammates saved him.
What’s just as bad is that NJD goalie didn’t even make his way up to center ice
Tim
Not our greatest game but a win is a win. Tomorrow will be interesting I think they’ll be a lot of emotions when Gallant he sees the Misfits up close and personal. The Misfits when they hit the ice I wonder if they’ll nod as a jester of there respect for him. Should be interesting.
If your into the Silver Knights there on TV channel 33 tomorrow and Saturday at 4pm. Watch the Golden Knights at 4 tape the Silver Knights tomorrow and bingo lots of hockey. I personally like watching the kids.
Mark
You fake fans are the worst. First of all, the guy went after Petro, flat out, he was attacked for whatever reason. McNabb was being a good teammate. Petro got a few taps in, obviously, Petro is not a brawler. But “cheap shots” don’t make me laugh. I’m not a big fan of the kneeler Lehner, but he just barely puch the guy, barely. Of course, I apologize being a member of the stupidest fan base alive, ever seen by man. I mean, unlike you guys, you East coast fakes, I never played sports, unlike you keyboard warriors, who all probably all played in the NFL or NHL, you know it all. Let’s Go Brandon!!
TS
Apology’s accepted…
Why can’t I find a LVGK hat on ebay? Help!
knights fan in minny
just go steal one you and your people are good at that
TS
Not a bad idea, given how broke I am per Transparent Nevada public website!
knights fan in minny

TS
Beats your single wide with your chain smoking grandma living in the living room on the pull out sofa
knights fan in minny
both grandmas are dead you stupid nig must be time for you to get out side and dribble with the rest of the porch monkeys
TS
Wait! You buried both under that slab near the shed!
knights fan in minny
under the shed you live in you malt liquor drinking piece of shit
knights fan in minny
they are buried in a coffin like there suppose to be but you blackies probably put your dead in a garbage in the dumpster
TS
Funny that you still wear their granny panties!
knights fan in minny
is that all you have nig nog going on sites and being a jack ass i hope the doctor slapped your mama and dad oh wait dad probably wasnt there he hit it and ran
TS
Code – you capped them for insurance money and the built a new slab near the falling apart shed to hide it
knights fan in minny
no nig nog i have plenty of money from selling the printing company i owned not like you who has to run to the mailbox to get your monthly welfare check so you can get more malt liquor
TS
Printing company code for your $591 social security check and your meals on wheels every other day delivery to the single wide…
I learn so much on here! Go LVGK! And I miss Flour
knights fan in minny
flour there goes your 3rd grade education showing again flower learn how to spell stupid instead of hanging out on the street corner drinking malt liquor your peoples national pastime
Blitz
Fake fans? I am not sure I buy that. Dumb as shit is probably more like it. I assume if you spend time on a fan site you are either a fan or anti-fan, so fake probably isn’t true. So yeah I think you just mean dip shit fans or stupid etc. My favorite is retarded, but somewhere along the lines that became taboo by the offended community. So now when I mow my lawn I can no longer retard my throttle. I have to mentally handicap it.
I know one thing about Lehner. If I was in a fight with him I would aim for his left ear, because he hasn’t stopped a shot all season just off his left ear, high glove. No way he can block it. Guaranteed win. #FJB
Daryl
Your last Comme t is flat out hilarious…. And true lol
THE hockey GOD
@mark, it appeared that RL slashed the player on back of leg. Then when NJD player poked his mask off, a few seconds later, he tried a punch. But this team mates have NJD player wrapped up. I don’t know where all the RL haters are coming from. But MAF did a lot worse than this to other players.
I suspect there was something going on earlier in game with no7. The NJL announcers on TV kept saying that the Flyers game a few nights ago woke a fire in them and they needed to play with more urgency.
The real TS
That fight was the direct result of bad ice
knights fan in minny
or bad malt liquor
Vegas Baby
The crack must be free today.
Tim
All this hate among the posters over nothing is a little disturbing. I thought this was a hockey outlet not a lets see who can one up the other on insults. This is suppose to be a fun outlet to express your views on the VJK now it’s who can belittle who the most.
BAD Vlad
No kidding. What a collection of ass clowns here
knights fan in minny
look the resident dumb ass is back
knights fan in minny
how is krebs doing
knights fan in minny
tell that to the fake ts who comes here to stir things up and call vegas fans the dumbest
Justin
Comments about race or wealth or lifestyle are really just gross, appalling, and so unacceptable. It’s hard to believe there are people out there that still talk like this. Byou should be ashamed of yourself and stop immediately, and never post anything like that again, as well as hopefully won’t say it to another person and don’t think it.
No place for comments like that in the world today.
THE hockey GOD
@Justin
“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods.”
The Tenth Commandment forbids the wanting or taking of someone else’s property. Along with the Seventh Commandment, this commandment condemns theft and the feelings of envy, greed, and jealousy in reaction to what other people have.
Entitlement is a *itch, isn’t it ? That costs you ten hail maries, ten our fathers, 100 acts of contrition, and 90 days in purgatory (no that isn’t the name of a Nicolas Cage movie)
Showing results for act of contrition
Search instead for act of contriction
Act of Contrition – Prayers – Vatican News
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things
Alex
This is almost as dumb as the superstition of throwing a plastic flamingo on the ice. Dumbest, most ignorant fan base in sports
I miss TS
knights fan in minny
your so stupid i know you would throw malt liquor cans on the ice did you bitch slap your old lady today i know you black angry men do that
TS
I rub a rabbits foot and cross my toes for things to go well…your thing sounds more complicated but also doesnt work
THE hockey GOD
the ten commandments are not dumb, wake up heathen !!
TS
All nonsense, you superstitious POS
Daryl
@thg… Eventually he will OD and we won’t have to sorry
Daryl
You don’t mean our Comme ts about a certain posted drinking 40s and robbing liquor stores??? Sometimes the truth is the truth and it hurts
TS
More likely you will be imprisoned for police brutality, you dirty cop
knights fan in minny
how many times have you been imprisoned nog most of your kind go there
Daryl
Yes I am Pauley…. And there isn’t anything you mutts can do about it
knights fan in minny
what was wrong with the altercation at the end this is hockey not the ice capades
Daryl
My only issue is Petra throwing punches in a player that is being held down by another player…. 2 on 1 is Bush league and wouldn’t fly against a team that actually has a tough guy. As for the rest, it’s good for business
