LAS VEGAS — The Golden Knights win their third straight game 5-2 over the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Golden Knights have won six of their last seven games to maintain their hold on the top spot in the Pacific division. Vegas is still third in the Western Conference with 80 points.
Thomas Hertl, Brett Howden, Jack Eichel, Noah Hanifin and Tanner Pearson scored in the win over the Maple Leafs. The Golden Knights held a 5-0 lead before the Maple Leafs added two late goals.

Of course when 4 Nations Face-Off USA teammates (Matthews and Eichel) face off to start the game, there has to be a fight on puck drop, right?

Jack Eichel denied twice on the same breakaway, shorthanded by Stolarz.
Seconds later, Saad hits iron a partial 2-on-1 #VegasBorn

5-0. Stolarz has been making some amazing saves lately but tenacity from Tanner Pearson in a dog pile results in a goal.
Vegas is having their way with the Leafs.#VegasBorn | #LeafsForever
