Jack Eichel led the Vegas Golden Knights to an early lead against the Canucks, scoring two goals in the opening period to set the score at 2-0 VGK. His first goal, making it 1-0, came from an unscreened rush wrist shot just under Arturs Silovs' glove on the power play, marking Eichel's goal in three straight games. The second goal was a result of a wide-open opportunity at the back door, where he took a cross-ice feed for an easy deposit. Despite the early setback, Canucks' goalie Arturs Silovs made a couple of big saves, indicating he had settled in after the initial goals. Eichel's performance put him on a hat trick watch in the first period.
Arturs Silovs with a couple of big saves consecutively, on Hanifin off of the rush, and off of a heavily screened point shot. He's settled in nicely since being handcuffed by Jack Eichel on the first shot he faced. #Canucks

Eichel walks in off the rush, rips one from just above the right circle and has a goal in three straight games. 1-0
Jack Eichel puts an unscreened rush wrist shot just under Arturs Silovs glove on the power play, and Vegas is out to an early lead. An unfortunate one to surrender for the #Canucks.
Eichel rips through the neutral zone going around two or three guys then finds a hole in the goalie. Poor goaltending makes it 1-0 VGK.
JACK EICHEL ON THE POWER PLAY!!! IT'S 1-0!!! #VegasBorn | @forthepeople https://t.co/meMVMXOllZ
