Golden Knights end 5-game skid with 5-2 victory over Canucks
LAS VEGAS (AP) --- Jack Eichel had a goal and an assist and the Vegas Golden
Knights snapped a five-game losing streak with a 5-2 win over the Vancouver
Canucks on Wednesday night.
Ivan Barbashev scored a goal for the fourth straight game, and Cole Reinhardt,
Pavel Dorofayev and Alexander Holtz also had goals for the Knights. Mark Stone
had a pair of assists.
Akira Schmid made 21 saves, including a spectacular stop on Vancouver's
Pierre-Olivier Joseph midway through the second period when he dove across the
crease to snag the puck with his glove and preserve a 3-1 lead.
Elias N. Pettersson and Joseph had goals for the Canucks, who have now lost
three in a row and six of their last seven games and remain in last place in
the NHL. Teddy Blueger had a pair of assists and Kevin Lankinen made 26 saves.
After a scoreless first period, things heated up in the second when the teams
combined to score on four straight shots, with all four goals coming in a span
of 2:30 and Vegas taking a 3-1 lead.
With two third-period goals, the Golden Knights now have 75 third-period goals
this season, the most in the NHL. Eichel has 21 multipoint games this season.
