The Vegas Golden Knights (35-26-15) downed the Edmonton Oilers (39-29-9), 5-1, on Saturday at Rogers Place.

Vegas took control early and never let up, opening the scoring midway through the first period when Brett Howden buried a rebound off a Jack Eichel chance. Colton Sissons doubled the lead six minutes into the second, finishing a rush that began with Jeremy Lauzon and Mitch Marner breaking out of the defensive zone. Just two minutes later, Lauzon made it 3-0, skating into space up the middle and firing home his first goal of the season from above the hash marks.

Edmonton got on the board late in the second period through Evan Bouchard, but Vegas quickly responded in the third. Mark Stone extended his point streak with a deflection goal early in the frame, and Rasmus Andersson capped the scoring late with a blast off a cross-ice feed from Ivan Barbashev, with Noah Hanifin also picking up an assist.

Jack Eichel led the way offensively with three assists, while Barbashev contributed helpers on both third-period goals. Lauzon recorded his first goal of the season along with a multi-point performance, and Howden continued his strong stretch with goals in consecutive games. In net, Carter Hart was sharp, stopping 31 of 32 shots to earn his second straight win since returning from injury.
