Jonathan Marchessault and William Karlsson each had a goal and two assists for the Vegas Golden Knights in a 6-1 win over the host Calgary Flames on Thursday.
With seven games left in their regular season, the Golden Knights were two points back of the Dallas Stars and Nashville Predators holding down the Western Conference’s wild-card berths with 89 points apiece.
But the Golden Knights rattled off six unanswered goals, including four in the second period at the Saddledome. Flames starter Jacob Markstrom was pulled at 9:04 of the second period for Dan Vladar after allowing four goals on 17 shots. Vladar turned away six of eight shots in relief.Karlsson beat Vladar’s glove with a low wrist shot at 18:19 of the third period. Roy provided a screen and tipped in a Shea Theodore shot from the point for a power-play goal at 17:36 of the second.
Vegas led 2-1 on Dadonov’s goal at 4:46. A loose puck squirted to the Russian parked on Markstrom’s left and he lifted the puck over the goaltender’s outstretched pad. Knights defenceman Brayden McNabb blew a skate blade blocking a shot and couldn’t get on his feet in the first period.
