In Las Vegas, the Golden Knights’ Chandler Stephenson scored his second goal of the the third period and Vegas defeated the Los Angeles Kings, 4-3 on Sunday afternoon.
The game-winner came off a deflection of a Kings’ defenseman. 
“Pretty lucky goal, but I’ll take it,” Stephenson said.
Robin Lehner made 29 saves to get the win.
LA was far more competitive Sunday than they had been in the first of the two-game set in Vegas.
“Beating any team in this league twice is going to be tough,” Vegas head coach Peter DeBoer said. “You see that when you look around the League. There’s no doubt we made it tougher on ourselves tonight. You’ve got to win all kinds of different ways this season. The bottom line is we’re winning in a league that’s hard to do so.”
Jaret Anderson-Dolan, Adrian Kempe and Anze Kopitar scored for the Kings who had a 3-2 lead before Stephenson’s heroics.
Reilly Smith and Zach Whitecloud added single markers for the Knights.
“We’ve got good size, but we’ve got a lot of good speed too,” Stephenson said. “I think it helps us back off teams and have possession of the puck more.”
Calvin Petersen made 29 saves in the loss.
“I thought we did a much better job than in games prior,” Kings head coach Todd McLellan said. “I thought we created a lot of good looks, kept plays alive in the offensive zone. Offensively, I thought we improved as a team tonight.”
