VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 6 CALGARY FLAMES 2 (7-2-0, 14 PTS)

Recap: The Golden Knights returned to Las Vegas for a three-game set beginning with the Calgary Flames. On Vegas’s first shot of the game, Brett Howden scored to make it 1-0. Nine minutes later, Jack Eichel stole the puck and promptly put it behind Calgary’s goalie on the penalty kill. After 20 minutes, the Golden Knights led 2-0.

Calgary scored a shorthanded goal midway through the second period, but Braeden Bowman got it back :48 later. Vegas took a 3-1 advantage into the 2nd intermission.

Captain Mark Stone recorded a natural hat trick in the 3rd period, VGK’s first hatty of the year.

The Golden Knights’ record improves to 7-2-0, defeating the Flames 6-2 at T-Mobile Arena. Next up, Vegas will host the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night. Puck drop against the Penguins is scheduled for 7 PM. (Recap by Jason)

Analysis: This was a game where the goal was to simply take care of business. VGK did not exactly play a great game, or really anything close to it, but they didn’t have to, especially after taking the early 2-0 lead. It’s another fairly easy comfortable win against a pretty dreadful opponent. (Analysis by Ken)
