Defenseman Jeremy Lauzon and forward Brett Howden had a goal and an assist each to lead the Vegas Golden Knights to a 5-1 win over the host Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Colton Sissons, captain Mark Stone and defenseman Rasmus Andersson also scored for the Golden Knights (35-26-16, 86 points), who won their third straight under new coach John Tortorella and moved to within a point of first place in the Pacific Division. Jack Eichel had three assists and Ivan Barbashev two as Carter Hart made 31 saves.<\/p>\n
Defenseman Evan Bouchard got the goal for the Oilers (39-29-9, 87 points), who had their five-game winning streak snapped and remain tied on points for the Pacific Division lead with the Anaheim Ducks. Connor Ingram stopped 28 shots.<\/p>\n
Howden’s goal with 8:17 left in the first period gave Vegas a 1-0 lead. He put in the rebound of Eichel’s shot off the rush for his second goal in as many games.<\/p>\n
Sissons and Lauzon scored 2:21 apart in the second period to make it 3-0.<\/p>\n
Sissons tipped in a pass from Mitch Marner off the rush 5:44 into the middle period, and Lauzon also scored via the rush by putting in a snap shot from the inside edge of the left circle off a pass from Eichel.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It was Lauzon’s first goal since the 2023-24 season and his first for the Golden Knights.<\/p>\n
Bouchard put the Oilers on the board with 34 seconds remaining in the middle period with a wrist shot from the slot. It was his 400th career point and 21st goal of the season.<\/p>\n
Stone restored the three-goal lead 4:04 into the third period when he tipped in Barbashev’s shot 13 seconds after Vegas had killed off an Edmonton power play.<\/p>\n
Andersson added a power-play goal with 3:47 left. It was his 16th tally and fourth in his last six games.<\/p>\n
A fan looked to be okay, despite being hit in the head with a puck that left the rink with 6:52 left in the second.<\/p>\n
The Oilers’ Zach Hyman did not play because of an undisclosed injury.<\/p>\n
Vegas salvaged the final game between the two Pacific Division rivals after Edmonton had prevailed in the first three.<\/p>\n
