In recent games, the Vegas Golden Knights (34-17-6) have won because of their defense, not their goaltending. Tonight, it was a mix of both. Brandon Saad scored just 18 seconds into the third period,

That’s the Hill that Knights fans remember from the team’s run to a Stanley Cup championship in 2023. That’s the Hill that earned a spot on Team Canada for the 4 Nations Face-Off, though he served as Jordan Binnington’s backup throughout the event.

Ivan Barbashev and Tomas Hertl also scored, while Adin Hill made 33 saves for the Golden Knights (34-17-6), who have won three in a row. Saad was playing his fifth game for the Golden Knights after he signed with Vegas for the remainder of the season on Jan. 31.
