It took a bit of time, and a few nice saves from Malcolm Subban, but the Golden Knights eventually kicked it into gear. A spilled puck on a dump in led to the Golden Knights first goal by Max Pacioretty. Then, in the 2nd Vegas took over controlling play for a majority of the period. It eventually led to a power play goal by Brandon Pirri after a terrific entry by William Karlsson. Vegas took a three-goal lead early in the 3rd. Nashville made it interesting cutting it back to two, but a pair of goals from Oscar Lindberg and Pacioretty sealed the deal on a big win for the Golden Knights.

Ken’s Three VGK Stars
*** Cody Eakin
** Oscar Lindberg
* Max Pacioretty
It's been 28 days since the Golden Knights won a home game. They needed one in the worst way and they went out and played their best game of the season.

Golden Knights just took their 40th shot. There's still time left in the 2nd period.
This has been a terrific effort across the board for VGK, but need to do it for 20 more minutes to make it worth anything.

Eakin and Lindberg have been so good again. Pacioretty wasn't out there on that one, but that line has made a huge impact on this game.

The Saros curse is over.
My goodness that shot from Pacioretty was insane. When he first got here Daniel Carr told us he has the best shot in the NHL. "Watch, you'll see it."
