In Las Vegas, Mark Stone scored two of the Golden Knight’s four goals in the third period on Monday night in a 5-1 win over the St Louis Blues.
“If you look at the way we’ve been playing the last month or two, our record is really good,” Stone said. “We’re winning in different areas. That’s what good teams do: We find ways to win hockey games.”
Robin Lehner made 15 saves to get the win for Vegas.
Vince Dunn had the only goal for the Blues.
“Very disappointing, it really is,” St. Louis head coach Craig Berube said. “We won two games [at the San Jose Sharks], played some good hockey, and then just came here and didn’t look like a confident hockey team.”
Dunn’s goal tied the game, 1-1, in the second period.
“I think we were playing pretty good in the first two periods,” Dunn said. “We’ve got to find a way to pick each other up and get back in the game.”
Keegan Kolesar picked up his goal for Vegas.
“A lot of congrats and ‘about time.’ A lot of good laughs,” Kolesar said. “I think they might have been more excited than I was.”
Jonathan Marchessault scored in the opening frame to give Vegas a 1-0 lead.
“We were doing some good things,” Stone said. “That was a big win.”
William Karlsson added a marker in the third period outburst.
Jordan Binnington made 30 saves in the loss.
“We didn’t play well the first two periods, but we hung in there,” Berube said. “We get outshot 15-3 in the third period, it’s just not good enough. I’ve got to coach better, they’ve got to play better. I guess I didn’t prepare them good enough.”
