Max Pacioretty paced the offense by scoring two goals in the first period as the Golden Knights (12-12-1) grabbed a 4-0 advantage. William Karlsson, Colin Miller, William Carrier and Alex Tuch also scored for Las Vegas. Miller and Tuch also dished out an assist, while Reilly Smith registered two assists.

Chicago (9-10-5) secured a 5-4 overtime victory Saturday at the Panthers as Erik Gustafsson scored the game-winner 2:32 into the extra session. The Blackawks trailed 4-2 through two periods, but pulled within a goal midway through the third and then tied it up in thrilling fashion with two seconds remaining on a goal by Alex DeBrincat. David Kampf, Patrick Kane and Alexandre Fortin each scored a goal. Kampf also dished out an assist, while Gustav Forsling and Brandon Saad each registered two assists. Cam Ward recorded 34 saves on 38 shots in the winning effort.

Las Vegas has finally seemingly turned a corner and is looking more like the team it had last season. Chicago has been hapless much of the year and I expect that to continue against a team showing plenty of signs of life.
