William Karlsson scored twice in the first 11:22 and the Golden Knights defeated the Los Angeles Kings 4-2 Sunday at T-Mobile Arena.
Karlsson scored his eighth and ninth goals of the season, the first coming 55 seconds into the game when he beat Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick with a wrist shot from the left faceoff circle. His second, a shot from in front of the crease with Quick out of position, made it 3-0 and resulted in Kings coach John Stevens pulling Quick for Darcy Kuemper.
Between Karlsson’s pair of first-period goals was Cody Eakin notching his third of the year as he snapped a wrist shot over Quick’s shoulder.
