Amadio has goal, two assists for Golden Knights in win against Ducks

ANAHEIM --Michael Amadio had a goal and two assists for his first three-point game in the NHL, helping the Vegas Golden Knights defeat the Anaheim Ducks 5-4 at Honda Center on Friday.

Nicolas Roy scored two goals, and Laurent Brossoit made 20 saves for the Golden Knights (31-21-4), who lost 5-2 to the Boston Bruins on Thursday.
"At this time of the year, it's very important to get as many points as we can," Roy said. "We needed to bounce back from last game and we were able to do that."
Jakob Silfverberg, Nicolas Deslauriers, Trevor Zegras and Troy Terry scored, and John Gibson made 30 saves for the Ducks (26-22-9), who have lost three of four.
"A divisional game, big point of the season, so it doesn't feel great," Anaheim defenseman Cam Fowler said.
The Golden Knights scored four goals in the second period to take a 5-3 lead into the third period.
"In the first period, we didn't manage the puck all that well," Fowler said. "It seemed like we were a little bit sloppy, missing each other on the tape, turning it over too many times and just too many chances against in the second."

Deslauriers tied it 2-2 at 2:23 of the second with a shot from just inside the blue line. Roy then scored two goals in a 3:05 span to give the Golden Knights a 4-2 lead.
He made it 3-2 at 3:49 when he scored on the carom off the end boards after Shea Theodore's shot went wide, and 4-2 at 6:54 when he got to a loose puck and scored from the slot. He had not scored in the previous 15 games.
"It was nice, some guys got off some streaks, like Nick Roy," Vegas coach Peter DeBoer said. "He'd been snakebit for a while. We were due, some of those guys were due, and they went to the right places in order to score."
Amadio pushed the lead to 5-2 at 9:44 when he redirected a centering pass from Chandler Stephenson.
"This is a three-goal league, if you score three, you've got a chance to win," DeBoer said. "It took us five tonight, but we'll take it. Two desperate teams going at it out there, a hard-fought game."
Zegras scored on a power play to make it 5-3 at 18:38, and Terry scored on another power play at 6:39 of the third for the 5-4 final.
"We shot ourselves in the foot in the first part of the second (period)," Anaheim coach Dallas Eakins said. "In the third, what happened, it wasn't that we got our game going, we quit turning pucks over in the neutral zone, simple as that."

Silfverberg gave the Ducks a 1-0 lead at 4:47 of the first period when his shot from just above the goal line slipped between Brossoit's pads.
Ben Hutton tied it 1-1 at 7:00. Evgenii Dadonov helped win a battle for the puck in the Anaheim corner and Amadio passed to Hutton in the slot for the one-timer. It was Hutton's 100th NHL point.
Jonathan Marchessault scored 18 seconds into the second period to give Vegas a 2-1 lead.
"That sets the wrong tone for the team to give one up early [in the second period]," Fowler said. "I liked that we continued to fight and push forward, but there's definitely a lot that we left out there that we can clean up."
