Overview
- Vegas beat Winnipeg 6-2 on Monday in Las Vegas to move within a single point of clinching the Pacific Division in Game 82 against the Kraken.
- Jack Eichel led the win with a goal and three assists, his fourth four-point game of the season.
- A tight first half gave way to a wild third period, with five goals in the first six minutes after Ivan Barbashev scored 31 seconds into the frame off an Eichel feed.
- Mark Stone opened the scoring short-handed for the 10th such goal of his career, then Rasmus Andersson later restored a three-goal lead by blasting home a Stone setup.
- Discipline proved pivotal when Mark Scheifele’s high-sticking double-minor led to two Vegas power-play goals, including Pavel Dorofeyev’s 20th on the man advantage and Eichel’s first power-play goal of the season, as the team improved to seven wins in eight under John Tortorella.
