HOW IT WENT DOWN
Jack Eichel got things going quickly, scoring with a wrist shot less than five minutes into the first. Less than three minutes later, William Karlsson found the back of the net putting Vegas up, 2-0. Chandler Stephenson then gave the Golden Knights a commanding 3-0 lead at 10:07 of the period. With five minutes remaining in the first, Eichel scored an unassisted goal for his second of the game which put Vegas up 4-0. Halfway through the second period, Pierre Luc-Dubois potted the Jets' first goal of the game, cutting the Golden Knights' lead to 4-1. Neal Pionk tipped in a shot ten minutes into the final frame which brought Winnipeg within two. With two minutes remaining, Jonathan Marchessault grabbed the empty-net goal for a final score of 5-2.
