Sports for Vegas

Saturday night the Vegas Golden Knights dominated the Vancouver Canucks. Vegas ended up with an 18% scoring percentage.  With Eakin, Nosek, Stastny, Tuch, Schmidt, and Stone all scoring goals. Stone would score his first career goal as a Vegas Golden Knight and Tuch had his first 3-point game of his NHL career. Both teams were pretty evenly matched stat wise except the Knights showed excellent puck control with only 2 giveaways all game. This has been the new trend on the Knights in the Stone Age.
