Oscar Dansk wins first NHL start, leads Vegas to 7th win in 8 games

Wearing a Vegas Golden Knights jersey apparently means you can do no wrong. Oscar Dansk, making his first NHL start in goal, stopped 29 Blackhawks shots -- including a third-period Patrick Sharp breakaway -- on the way to a 4-2 victory, the Knights' seventh in the first eight games of their existence.

The Golden Knights' record-setting start continues despite the loss of their top two goalies to injury -- No. 1 Marc-Andre Fleury with a concussion and No. 2 Malcolm Subban with a lower-body injury.

That leaves the Vegas net in the hands of Dansk, who played in his first NHL game Sunday after Subban was injured, and recently recalled Maxime Lagace, who has yet to make his NHL debut.
