Recap: Panthers go bust in Vegas, drop 5-3 decision to Golden Knights

Nicolas Roy scored the go-ahead goal with 6:37 remaining on a breakaway to help lift the Vegas Golden Knights to a 5-3 victory over the Florida Panthers.

After Sam Bennett inexplicably fell down in the Vegas zone at the exact moment Gustav Forsling decided to pinch in from the left point, Roy took possession of the puck and sped the other way before solving Spencer Knight with a forehand-to-backhand move.

The decisive goal came fifty-seven seconds after the Panthers rallied to forge a 3-3 tie. Ugh...

Carter Verhaeghe opened the scoring 8:04 into the first period.
