VEGAS 7,
PITTSBURGH 3
WHEN: 10:00
PM ET, Saturday, January 19, 2019
WHERE: T-Mobile Arena, Las
Vegas, Nevada
REFEREES: Trevor Hanson, Peter
MacDougall
LINESMEN: Ryan Gibbons, Mark
Shewchyk
ATTENDANCE: 18511
Jonathan Marchessault and William Karlsson have struggled
to find the back of the net since Dec. 22, scoring a combined three goals over
12 games.
Vegas’ dynamic top-line forwards topped that Saturday
night.
Marchessault scored three goals for his second career hat
trick and Karlsson got his 16th of the season to help lead the Golden Knights
to a 7-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Marchessault scored twice less than four minutes apart in
the second period to give Vegas a 5-3 lead. His empty-netter with 21 seconds
left in the game completed the scoring with the Golden Knights’ first hat trick
of the season and third in franchise history.
Shea Theodore, Max Pacioretty and Oscar Lindberg also
scored as the Golden Knights improved to 16-4-3 at home this season. Marc-Andre
Fleury, who spent his first 13 seasons with the Penguins, stopped 34 shots to
earn his league-leading 27th victory.
Phil Kessel, Dominik Simon and Sidney Crosby scored for
Pittsburgh, and Casey DeSmith finished with 28 saves.
Both goalies were exceptional against two of the more
high-energy offenses in the league. All 18 Vegas skaters had at least one shot,
while 14 of Pittsburgh’s 18 had one shot.
The Penguins concluded their sixth of 11 back-to-back
situations, after winning 4-3 in overtime at Arizona on Friday. Pittsburgh is
8-3-1 in back to backs, going 5-0-1 the first night and 3-3-0 the second.
Teams making stops in Arizona, then Vegas, are now 1-7
against the Golden Knights after playing the Coyotes.
The Penguins came out flying to dominate the start of the
second period to erase a two-goal deficit with consecutive goals by Simon and
Crosby inside the first six minutes to tie the score 3-3. Jake Guentzel, who
has eight goals in nine games since the start of 2019, assisted on both goals.
But after Pittsburgh’s would-be fourth goal was
overturned when the NHL’s Situation Room deemed Malkin kicked the puck into the
net, things began to unravel, and the Golden Knights gained momentum off
Marchessault’s two goals.
GAME NOTES
Alex Tuch, who assisted on Pacioretty’s goal, leads
the Golden Knights with 38 points (15 goals, 23 assists) this season. … Malkin,
who also assisted on Kessel’s goal, is just two assists shy of reaching 600 for
his career. … Since being recalled from the Chicago Wolves on Dec. 19, Brandon
Pirri leads Vegas with 13 points (8 goals, 5 assists), but had his four-game
point streak end. … The attendance was 18,511, for the second-largest
regular-season crowd in the second-year franchise’s history.
