The Vegas Golden Knights (19-8-3) saw their four-game win streak come to an end with a 6-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers (18-10-2) on Saturday afternoon at Rogers Place.
HOW IT WENT DOWN
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins opened the scoring for Edmonton late in the first period to give the Oilers a 1-0 lead. In the second, Edmonton surged ahead, extending their advantage to 5-0, however, Vegas began to mount a comeback with a goal from Victor Olofsson to trim the deficit to 5-1. Just 26 seconds later, Ivan Barbashev tallied a goal, bringing the Golden Knights within three. Jack Eichel earned the assist on Barbashev’s tally, marking his 40th point of the season and setting a new record as the fastest player in franchise history to reach the milestone. In the third period, Brett Howden delivered Vegas' second short-handed goal of the season, cutting the lead to 5-3, but Edmonton responded as Jeff Skinner found the net, cementing a final score of 6-3.
