Alex Pietrangelo scored a one-timer from the point in the second period to tie the game for Vegas. Jack Eichel and Victor Olofsson provided the assists for the man-advantage goal, showing a promising team.

In the past, the Golden Knights have been poor on the power play. About 19.6% lifetime percentage bad. It's enough to make fans scream in pain, almost as if their toe had been eaten. However, Friday showed a different side to the unit where they became more and more comfortable as the game went on. Scoring on three power play attempts is a promising side for the future, especially for a unit looking for life.

Another thing to watch out for is the Battle of the Tanners. Tanner Pearson and Tanner Laczynski are fighting for a spot on the roster, with the duo providing assists in the third period. Which Tanner will win the war? Stay tuned. While the power play looked good, the penalty kill looked shaky early on. Michael Carcone scored first for the Golden Knights, putting Vegas in an early hole. However, it took some time for the forces to come together, similar to the power play.

Overall, this was a nice early season win for the Golden Knights. The main attractions offered the home crowd a show that shone with goals from numerous well-known names.
