The Golden Knights were trying to win their third game in a row with a victory over the Dallas Stars. It looked like the Stars had opened the scoring early in the contest, but it was ruled that goaltender Adin Hill had frozen the puck before reaching the net. After the goal was called back Vegas stole the momentum and drew several penalties, setting them up with multiple power play opportunities. Tomas Hertl continued his dominance on the man-advantage and scored the game’s first goal. After the opening 20 minutes, the home team held a 1-0 edge.

Dallas tied the game early on in the middle frame. Towards the end of the period Vegas was awarded a power play opportunity which Jack Eichel snapped the 1-1 tie. 68 seconds later Nic Roy extended Vegas’ lead to 3-1 before the break.

The Stars outshot the Golden Knights in the final period, but Hill was strong in net allowing just one 6-on-5 goal. After 60 minutes the Golden Knights won 3-2 and are one point back in the President’s Trophy chase.

The Golden Knights record improves to 18-7-3 defeating the Stars 3-2 at T-Mobile Arena.

The Golden Knights returned from their five-game road trip to host the NHL’s best Winnipeg Jets for an early evening matchup. The Jets took the first lead of the game seven minutes into the game. After failing to convert twice on power play opportunities Vegas began to cook with two minutes left in the frame. First Brett Howden scored on an unassisted breakaway and Ivan Barbashev gave Vegas the 2-1 lead before the break.

Deep into the middle period, Winnipeg evened the score and after 40 minutes of action, the game was locked in a 2-2 tie.

Jack Eichel found Barbashev for the second time of the night. Barbashev’s 12th goal of the season gave his club a 3-2 edge. Four minutes later Winnipeg found the back of the net, tying the game at three a piece. After the Jets tied the game, Howden tallied his second goal of the game nudging VGK to a 4-3 victory.

The Golden Knights record improves to 15-6-3 defeating the Jets 4-3 at home.
