Florida scored the first two but Vegas was able to get both back in the 1st period. A lackluster scoreless 2nd period left the game tied with 20 minutes to go. Erik Haula tipped one home about midway through the 3rd to give the Golden Knights the lead. Two empty netters later, the Golden Knights are back in first place!
Upcoming stories from the Vegas Golden Knights vs. Florida Panthers at T-Mobile Arena.
- Golden Knights hold Florida to their lowest shot total of the year. What are they doing so well defensively. Have allowed just six goals in the past three games.
- The Subban/Fleury balancing act has begun, and it worked. (Possibly)
- Back-to-back opposing goalies have said the Golden Knights “don’t do anything special.”
Three Stars

Great game tonight knights. The defense is what made this game the result it was. I’m not a fan of rotating Subban Fleury. You could the two goals given up were not the type usually given up by Subban. He was frozen in place and slow to react. We need to ride the hot stopper and not let him get stagnant trying the rotation game which almost never works.
The 2nd period we came out flying but just couldn’t finish. The 3rd we controlled again until we finally got the go ahead. The rest was just icing on the cake. Another great game to be in attendance!
