A choppy start with a bundle of whistles led to the game settling in before a pair of power play chances each way. Vegas did well to kill of Anaheim’s and then took advantage of their own creating an easy one for William Karlsson. A slick stretch pass from Jonathan Marchessault to Alex Tuch doubled Vegas’ lead in the 2nd. They would lock it down in the 3rd to seal a fairly easy road victory.

This is pretty much a home game. So… #MarcAndreDonuts… right @krispykreme.

Ducks had an extended period of puck possession in VGK's zone, but the Golden Knights did a terrific job of keeping the puck out of the dangerous areas. May have been a shot or two but nothing that really troubled Fleury. Nice work.

Oh my goodness. Shea Theodore just embarrased a dude by outskating him on a rush, then a pass is fired up to Alex Tuch and he embarrasses a guy with his skating. The Ducks are still slow compared to VGK.

Carpenter on the 4th line, Pirri back in, and Tuch wakes up offensively.
Looks like Gallant has been reading the comment section here.
The cab commenter was spot on.
Great shutout by Fleury.
