SALT LAKE CITY (AP) --- Jack Eichel scored two goals and assisted on a third to
power the Vegas Golden Knights to a 4-1 victory over the Utah Mammoth on
Thursday night.
Ben Hutton and Braeden Bowman each scored a goal and Shea Theodore had three
assists to help the Golden Knights win for the third time in four games. Akira
Schmid had 25 saves.
Nate Schmidt scored for Utah and Karel Vejmelka made 29 stops. The Mammoth
dropped their fourth straight contest and have just two wins in their last 11
games.
After a scoreless first period, Vegas scored twice in 19 seconds early in the
second period.
Eichel, who now has 10 goals this season, got the first at 3:09 of the second,
slipping the puck behind Vejmelka's blind side. Hutton followed 19 seconds
later, snapping the puck home in traffic to put Vegas up 2-0.
Schmidt scored his first goal of the season at the 6:38 of the second to cut
the deficit in half. The Golden Knights regained their two-goal lead when
Eichel scored again with 3:09 left in the second, scoring on a breakaway set up
by a long pass from Bowman.
Bowman tipped in the puck 45 seconds into the third to complete the scoring.
Vegas has won all seven games this season where it has led after the second
period.
