The forward, acquired in a trade with the St. Louis Blues for forward Jacob de la Rose on Nov. 6, scored twice on the power play in a 4-2 win against the Boston Bruins on Friday. The victory ended the Red Wings' four-game losing streak (0-4-4) and gave them two wins in their past 14 games (2-11-1).
The Golden Knights end a four-game road trip with the second of a back to back after a 5-2 loss to the Washington Capitals on Saturday. Vegas is 1-1-3 in its past five games, including 1-1-1 on the trip.

Players to watch

Golden Knights forward William Karlsson has seven points (three goals, four assists) in his past seven games, but was held without a shot on goal by the Capitals.
Red Wings forward Anthony Mantha has three points (one goal, two assists) in two games since returning to the top line alongside Tyler Bertuzzi and Dylan Larkin.

They said it

"I think we just have to keep things simple. We have to play smarter and take care of the puck. Tonight, we got away from what we needed to do and we over-complicated everything. It is a tight turnaround before we play Detroit, so hopefully we can forget about this one quick." -- Golden Knights forward Reilly Smith
"That was a huge win. To get that, playing the way we need to play, was a real emotional high. But just because we won doesn't mean we can take the next game for granted. We're going to have to play with the same energy and intensity we did against Boston." -- Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin
