Fleury Backstops Golden Knights To 1-0 Win vs. Islanders

The Vegas Golden Knights (30-22-8) churned out a tight 1-0 victory against the New York Islanders (33-18-6) on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena.
HOW IT WENT DOWN
Vegas and New York skated through a scoreless first period and, just when it looked like they'd do the same in the second, Reilly Smith potted the game's only goal in the final minute of the middle frame. Marc-Andre Fleury finished the game with 19 saves as he locked in the 1-0 win for the Golden Knights.
