Any day now, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare will become a father for the first time.

And the Golden Knights forward opened the scoring in Sunday’s 6-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs at rocking T-Mobile Arena.

“Life is good,” Bellemare said.

Bellemare’s goal, his fourth of the season, sparked a three-goal first period from the Western Conference-leading Knights (26-9-2, 54 points).
