Next up, Vegas will host the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night. Puck drop against the Penguins is scheduled for 7 PM. (Recap by Jason) Analysis: This was a game where the goal was to simply take care of business. VGK did not exactly play a great game, or really anything close to it, but they didnt have to, especially after taking the early 2-0 lead. Its another fairly easy comfortable win against a pretty dreadful opponent. (Analysis by Ken) Upcoming stories from the Vegas Golden Knights vs. Calgary Flames at T-Mobile Arena.

It's the 30th in VGK history and Stone's 4th. (A few of those are notable ones in the playoffs.)

Marner picks a Flame pocket in the neutral zone, hits a diagonal pass to Howden, and he zips one to the corner. 1-0 VGK and this game should be just about over.
