Published in Hockey
The Vegas Golden Knights put an emphatic stamp on an impressive road trip with a 4-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.Y., on Sunday.
The Knights (12-5-2) earned seven of a possible eight points on the season-long, four-game road trip. Their lone loss was Monday in Boston via a shootout.
Mitch Marner scored a shorthanded goal at 12:17 of the second period, and Jack Eichel scored 1:26 later to give the Knights a 2-0 lead in the second period.
Goaltender Adin Hill finished with 27 saves and carried a shutout into the third period. Buffalo forward Beck Malenstyn ended the bid at 4:26 of the third.
Center Tomas Hertl scored twice in the third period. The first came 1:17 after Malenstyn’s goal, then again at 9:58.
This was Hertl’s second two-goal game in the last three. He scored twice Tuesday in Pittsburgh.
