Looking to bounce back after losing to bitter rivals the San Jose Sharks in Overtime on Thursday, the Vegas Golden Knights instead came up against an unstoppable force in McDavid and the red hot Oilers.
Having won four of seven outings prior to Saturday night, the Oilers drew first blood thanks to McDavid’s 17th goal of the year.
Defenseman Ethan Bear squeezed a shot through the body of Marc-Andre Fleury to make it a 2-0 game, although Cody Eakin got Vegas on the board before the end of the first period with his third goal of the year.
