The Vegas Golden Knights (31-22-14) close out the season series with the Chicago Blackhawks (25-30-11) with a 4-0 shutout win on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena.
HOW IT WENT DOWN
At 8:33 in the first frame, Pavel Dorofeyev struck first with his 17th power play of the season, giving the Golden Knights an early 1-0 lead. Mark Stone and Mitch Marner set up a tic-tac-toe pass for Dorofeyev’s one-timer. Three minutes later, Rasmus Andersson netted his first goal at T-Mobile Arena to give the Golden Knights a two-goal advantage in the opening period. Noah Hanifin fed the puck from the goal line to a wide-open Andersson in the circle for the score. Less than 30 seconds later, Jeremy Lauzon fired a shot from the blue line, and Keegan Kolesar tipped the puck past Spencer Knight to make it 3-0 for Vegas. Dorofeyev netted his second power-play goal into a wide-open net to bring his season total to 18 goals with an extra man. Marner sent a shot toward the net, and Stone backhanded the puck to Dorofeyev for the Golden Knight’s fourth unanswered goal with 7:09 remaining in the middle frame. Neither team found the back of the net in the final period, and Adin Hill turned aside all 21 shots to lift the Golden Knights to their second victory of the homestand.
