LAS VEGAS, Nevada — It’s going to be a month until the Vegas Golden Knights skate at T-Mobile Arena and VGK Olympians Jack Eichel, Mark Stone, Mitch Marner plus Pavel Dorofeyev were making sure Vegas fans were left with good memories.

Vegas’ high-scoring quartet all tallied goals in the first period as the Knights ambushed the Los Angeles Kings with four straight goals before the Kings answered with a goal to trail, 4-1, after the first 20 minutes.

Eichel will be on the American Olympic team, while Stone and Marner will be teammates on Team Canada.

Some fans were wearing the USA jerseys at T-Mobile Arena tonight.

Kings fans were also in the ice house as this will be the final regular season game for Anze Kopitar in Las Vegas.

Vegas goalie Adin Hill played well, limiting LA to only one goal.

Final: VGK 4 Kings 1

Vegas improved to 27-16-14 for 68 points and leads the division.
