assist, and Laurent Brossoit made 24 saves for the Golden
Knights, who were playing their first game since Dec. 21. Vegas'
Mattias Janmark and Keegan Kolesar also scored.
Adrian Kempe had a goal and an assist and Trevor Moore and Alex
Iafallo also scored for Los Angeles, which hadn't played since

Kings goalie Jonathan Quick stopped just 10 of 15 shots before
he was replaced by Garret Sparks early in the second period.
Sparks finished with 11 saves.
The Golden Knights went 2-for-4 on the power play and scored on
their first when Smith redirected a pass from Marchessault for a
1-0 lead at 9:53 of the first period.
Vegas scored 26 seconds later when Ben Hutton took a slap shot
from the left point and Kolesar deflected it into the net for a
2-0 lead.
The Kings answered 13 seconds later when Drew Doughty made a
stretch pass to Kempe, who was cutting down the middle. The pass
was out of Kempe's reach, but the puck banked off the end boards
and into the slot, where Kempe scored to cut the deficit to 2-1.
The Golden Knights scored their third goal in a 1:16 span to
move ahead 3-1. William Karlsson's shot went off the left post,
but the puck rebounded to Marchessault in the slot, and he
scored at 11:09.
The Golden Knights continued to add to their lead in the second
period.
Stephenson scored his 10th goal of the season on a power play to
make it 4-1 at 1:21, and Janmark chased Quick with another goal
at 2:47 for a 5-1 lead.
Moore scored short-handed to cut the lead to 5-2 at 15:30, but

the puck from behind the Los Angeles net and scored to make it
6-2 at 1:55 of the third.
Iafallo scored his 10th of the season at 5:50 to make it 6-3.
