In Las Vegas, Malcolm Subban made 35 saves to help the Golden Knights edge out the Arizona Coyotes, 2-1, after the skills portion of the evening’s events.
“I wish I could describe the feeling, but I’m just focused on the puck, and you don’t really feel anything else,” Subban said. “You’re kind of just into the game and just try to dial yourself in and not think about anything else that’s going on.”
Alex Tuch scored for the Knights in regulation and added the deciding goal in the shootout.
“It’s big, but going forward, we just have to worry about the next game,” Tuch said. “We can’t look too far ahead.”
Vegas improved to 13-11-4.
Jakob Chychrun scored the lone Coyotes goal in the game.
“We played a good hockey game,” Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said. “We deserved better, but to kill that many penalties and don’t get power plays, that’s what happens. I’m proud of the guys. We played hard.”
Arizona dropped to 15-8-4.

Darcy Kuemper made 37 saves in the loss.
“I’d say the first 10 minutes of the second, they had their first big push, and I thought [Kuemper] held strong, and I thought we gave them some chances,” Coyotes defenseman Jason Demers said. “I thought we did a good job of taking it to them, as well. I think it could’ve gone either way. If we keep banking points, we’re going to be in good shape.”
