Travis Boyd and Andrew Ladd scored their first goals of the preseason, and Karel Vejmelka stopped 25 of 26 shots faced in his chance to start and play an entire preseason game in goal for the Arizona Coyotes in their 3-1 win over the Vegas Golden Knights Thursday night.
The win put a bow on top of a 5-1 preseason for the Coyotes, who open the NHL regular season on Oct. 14 in Columbus. Christian Fischer added his second preseason goal for Arizona.
The Coyotes held the Golden Knights without a shot on goal for almost half of the entire third period, and outshot the hosts 29-26 for the game.
