LAS VEGAS — The Vegas Golden Knights chased Thomas Greiss from his net and then they chased the Detroit Red Wings from the building.
A good start dissipated into a sloppy loss Thursday at T-Mobile Arena, with the Wings falling for the third straight time on the trip. Their 5-2 loss was the third consecutive time they’ve surrendered five goals.
As it that wasn’t bad enough, rookie defenseman Moritz Seider limped off the ice in visible pain with five minutes remaining in the third period.
Givani Smith celebrated his first goal of the season, but it was overshadowed by the Golden Knights, who kept building leads even as their list of unavailable players included Jonathan Marchessault, Shea Theodore and Max Pacioretty.
