Game Recap: Golden Knights 4, Oilers 2 (Nov 6)

The Vegas Golden Knights extended their winning streak to three games with a convincing 4-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night at Rogers Place. The Knights were led by Mark Stone, who scored twice, including the game-winning goal. Jack Eichel also had a two-point night with a goal and an assist, while Ivan Barbashev added a goal of his own.

Laurent Brossoit was stellar in net for the Golden Knights, making 25 saves. The Oilers, meanwhile, were led by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, who each scored a goal. Stuart Skinner stopped 29 shots for Edmonton.

First Period:

The Golden Knights came out flying in the first period, generating several quality scoring chances. They opened the scoring at 12:42 when Stone tipped in a shot from Michael Amadio from the slot. The Oilers evened the score at 16:49 when McDavid scored on a beautiful individual effort, deking past a Golden Knights defender before beating Brossoit with a wrist shot.

Second Period:

The Golden Knights regained the lead at 1:06 of the second period when Eichel deflected in a shot from Reilly Smith. The Oilers tied the game again at 9:44 when Draisaitl tipped in a shot from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. However, the Knights took the lead for good at 16:39 when Barbashev scored a power-play goal.

Third Period:

The Golden Knights sealed the victory with a late goal from Stone. With the Oilers pressing for the equalizer, Stone intercepted a pass in the neutral zone and skated in on a breakaway before beating Skinner with a backhand shot.

Key Takeaways:

• Stone shines for the Golden Knights: Stone was a force all night long for the Golden Knights, scoring two goals and making several other key plays. He continues to be a dominant player for Vegas.
• Brossoit stands tall: Brossoit was the difference-maker for the Golden Knights, making several key saves to keep his team in the game.
• Oilers struggle defensively: The Oilers were undone by their inability to defend effectively. They allowed the Golden Knights to generate too many scoring chances, and they made some costly turnovers.
