Knights rout Flames

In Las Vegas, the Golden Knights turned a 1-2 deficit to a 6-2 rout of the visiting Calgary Flames on Saturday.

The Knights spread the scoring around with Mark Stone and William Carrier potting a goal each and adding an assist apiece.

“We played angry,” Stone said. “We don’t like losing two games in a row [against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday and Arizona Coyotes on Thursday]. We didn’t play the way we normally play, and we got jumped right from the get-go. We didn’t change anything [Saturday]. We just went back to playing VGK hockey.”

Marc-Andre Fleury made 33 saves for the win.

“We controlled the play a lot more,” Fleury said. “We didn’t give up many scoring chances, and we created a lot. I thought we played really good for 60 minutes.”

Rasmus Andersson and Johnny Gaudreau had the Flames strikes.

“We started off the second period really well,” Andersson said. “We got two quick ones there, but if you make mistakes against a team like this they’re going to punish you, and that’s what we did. We had moments where we were really good, but we haven’t found our game for 60 minutes yet.”

Tomas Nosek, Ryan Reaves, Cody Glass, and Paul Stastny all scored for Vegas.

“We’ve got to be ready to play,” Andersson said. “The first period was not good. We haven’t played good for 60 minutes, and that’s what we’re looking to do here. We’ve got another tough game tomorrow, so we’ve really got to recharge the batteries quick and come out and play better against San Jose.”

David Rittich made 24 saves in the loss.

“I thought they did a good job of putting the puck behind us,” Flames coach Bill Peters said. “We had a hard time in D-zone transition. We didn’t come out clean, and therefore we spent a lot of time defending.

“We didn’t play hard enough. Until we start playing hard enough, play hard for 60 minutes, it’s going to be up in the air all night long and you’re going to get blown out.”
