Hertl's Four-Point Night and Three Special-Teams Goals Power Golden Knights' 6-2 Rout of Kraken

The Vegas Golden Knights turned special teams into a weapon on Tuesday night, scoring three times in special-teams situations to cruise past the Seattle Kraken 6-2 at Climate Pledge Arena. Tomas Hertl led the charge with two goals and two assists, while Jack Eichel added a goal and three assists. Victor Olofsson also scored twice for his team-leading fourth goal of the young season before leaving in the third period with an apparent left-leg injury — the one sour note on an otherwise dominant night. Captain Mark Stone finished a short-handed 2-on-1 with Eichel early in the second period for his 400th career point in a Golden Knights uniform, closing in on Jonathan Marchessault's franchise record. Seattle starter Joey Daccord, who had stopped 56 of 58 shots in two earlier wins, was pulled after two periods following five goals on 21 shots. Shane Wright and Jared McCann scored for the Kraken, who fell to 2-2. Goaltender Carter Hart made 25 saves for Vegas, which swept its two-game Pacific Northwest road trip after edging Vancouver 3-2 on Sunday. The Knights dominated from the start, opening the scoring on Olofsson's deflected goal at 13:02 of the first and never looking back. Vegas moves to 3-1-0 on the young season while Seattle dropped its second straight after a shutout win in Dallas to open the campaign.
