On a night in Florida that may prove more significant than it appears now, the Vegas Golden Knights absolutely blitzed the Panthers to give us a glimpse of who the real Vegas Golden Knights are.
It was an absolute clinic at BB&T Center by the Knights who produced without doubt their best and most clinical outing of the year so far.
And, on a night where the Edmonton Oilers, Arizona Coyotes and the Vancouver Canucks all lost, the Golden Knights sparked their season well and truly into life.
They are now two points behind the Canucks for first place in the Pacific Division, which is there for the taking for the Golden Knights if they can muster up more nights like Thursday.
