Golden Knights Prevail 4-3 in Back-And-Forth Game vs. Chicago

Two timely goals from Jonathan Marchessault and Alex Tuch ignited a third-period comeback for the Vegas Golden Knights as they knocked off the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night at T-Mobile Arena. Vegas improved to 5-0-0 against Chicago all-time.
HOW IT WENT DOWN
Reilly Smith opened up the scoring for Vegas with a power-play goal at 1:28, ending an eight-game drought and giving him a total of five goals this season.

Jonathan Toews put Chicago on the board four minutes into the second period and Dylan Strome tied it up 2-2 at 16:15. A goal by Artem Anisimov gave Chicago a short-lived lead that was ended by two quick goals from Jonathan Marchessault and Alex Tuch just 12 seconds apart. Marc-Andre Fleury made seven saves in the third period as Vegas held on for its second win in a row.
TURNING POINT
After trailing 3-2 in the middle of the third, Marchessault shifted the momentum in the Golden Knights favor and tied the game with a wicked wrist shot from the left wing. Twelve seconds later, Tuch scored the game-winner on a strong effort in front of the net. Chicago challenged the goal, but Tuch's goal stood to give Vegas the 4-3 win.
