GAME HIGHLIGHTS ARE PRESENTED BY BETWAY
The Oilers opened the scoring a few minutes into the first period. Nick Bjugstad did good work on the forecheck to cause a turnover and he wrapped the puck around the net and tucked it in before Golden Knights goaltender Adin Hill was able to slide his pad to the post…
Not long after, Vegas defender Shea Theodore took a slashing penalty and Evan Bouchard blasted a clapper from the point through Hill to make the score 2-0…
