In a notable NHL game, Logan Thompson was announced as the starting goalie for the Golden Knights against Vancouver. The game quickly heated up when Jack Eichel scored a power play goal, putting Vegas ahead 1-0 early in the match. Eichel's goal came from an unscreened rush wrist shot that slipped under Arturs Silovs' glove and through a defender's leg. This goal marked Eichel's scoring in three consecutive games and was assisted by Logan Thompson, marking his third assist of the year. The Golden Knights capitalized on a power play opportunity following Boeser's penalty for hooking, setting the stage for Eichel's goal. Thompson also made two big saves in front of the net. The game's start was described as whacky, with Vegas giving up a few chances but managing to draw a penalty.
Logan Thompson gets an assist on Eichel's PPG. Third of the year.

Jack Eichel gives Vegas an early lead with a wrist shot through the defenders leg that squeaks through Silovs. 1-0
Eichel walks in off the rush, rips one from just above the right circle and has a goal in three straight games. 1-0
Silovs might not have had a great look at opening goal. Only gets a piece of Eichel's PP shot that went between Zadorov's legs. #Canucks
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

Pretty whacky start to this game early. VGK giving up a few chances in front of the net but they were able to draw a penalty by driving the net.
First power play of the game to Vegas. Boeser for hooking.
