The Vegas Golden Knights moved within one regulation win away from clinching the top seed in the Pacific Division, following a 2-1 victory against the Seattle Kraken at T-Mobile Arena on Thursday.
Ivan Barbashev and William Karlsson scored, while Adin Hill made 24 saves for the Golden Knights (48-22-9), who maintained a six-point lead over the Los Angeles Kings in the division.
The Golden Knights will play the Nashville Predators on Saturday and can clinch the division’s No. 1 seed with a regulation win or a Kings regulation loss against the Colorado Avalanche.
