Tomas Nosek, William Karlsson and Erik Haula scored in a 1:42 span of the second period and the Vegas Golden Knights went on to win their fifth straight, 4-2 over the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday night.
Jonathan Marchessault had an empty-net goal right before the buzzer and an earlier pair of assists for the Knights. They improved to 3-0 against Arizona and solidified their spot in first place in the Pacific Division in their inaugural season.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Brendan Perlini scored in a third-period Coyotes comeback. Perlini’s spectacular goal through traffic and past goalie Malcolm Subban cut the lead to 3-2 with 9:25 remaining.
