The VegasFlu may have struck again as the Golden Knights jumped all over the Leafs to the tune of a three goal lead in the 1st period. Toronto got the first and last goals of the 2nd to send the game to the 3rd at 4-2 Vegas. Toronto cut the lead to one, but an incredble display of puck handling over the course of about 150 feet of ice from Shea Theodore set up the Golden Knights 5th goal of the afternoon. The 6th goal goes in the books as an historic one, the Golden Knights first hat trick. William Karlsson got it with an unreal empty netter. Vegas wins again, that’s seven straight and a 12 game point streak.

First career hat trick for William Karlsson and the first in VGK history. What an unbelievable day. #WriteInWildBill
