LAS VEGAS, Nevada — This Golden Knights team tonight looks like the 110-point. 50-win squad that won its division.
The VGK played with more pace and force and led, 2-1, in the first period on a short-handed goal by William Karlsson and 5-0n-5 goal by captain Mark Stone.
Those two goals sandwiched a power play goal by Minnesota’s talented Kirill Kaprizov, who scored off a nice pass a mere 13 seconds after Karlsson’s shorty.
It was go time for VGK after winning, 4-3, in OT in Minnesota on Saturday. The Knights had an extra day off and that extra time seemed to help Vegas.
Coach Bruce Cassidy tinkered with his top line, adding Karlsson to play with Eichel and moving Pavel Dorofeyev to the first line. Stone was dropped to the second line to play with Tomas Hertl and Brandon Saad while Ivan Barbashev, who scored Saturday’s game-winning OT goal, was moved to the third line to play with Nic Roy ad Reilly Smith.
The Knights applied the pressure throughout the period, peppering Minnesota goalie Filip Gustavsson with 16 shots on goal.

Two hours before the Vegas Golden Knights were about to host the Minnesota Wild in Game 5 of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs, StubHub has a $47 ticket for Hyde Lounge — plus fees/charges.
That’s not a bad price to get into the building to watch two teams go at it in a highly-contested Best-of-7 first round series, which is locked at two games apiece after the Knights beat the Wild in OT on Saturday.
Also on the ticket resale market, Ticketmaster was offering a Flight Deck ticket for $69. That’ a standing room area at T-Mobile Arena.
The number of fixed seats for Golden Knights games is 17,367, but there are several standing room areas like the Flight Deck and Hyde Lounge and along counters behind the top row of the arena’s upper bowl.
