In an unusual start to the game, the Vegas Golden Knights took an early lead against the Minnesota Wild, with Jonathan Marchessault scoring just 22 seconds into the match, making it 1-0. The goal, described as odd and weird by observers, occurred when Marchessault attempted to center the puck, which then deflected off a stick, bounced off Brock Faber's skate, and lofted over goalie Gustavsson's head into the net. This goal marked a remarkable moment as it was scored in the very first shift of Marchessault's 1,000th game. Additionally, this goal at 0:22 is noted as the first in VGK history to be scored precisely at this time, leaving 2301 goals to complete VGK Horology.

The Knights score 22 seconds in as it went off Faber's skate and in. 1-0. Free fries.
The game is only 22 seconds old, and the Golden Knights are on the board. Marchessault flicked a knuckler short side and it went over Gustavsson. 1-0
That's the kind of bounce you get on the first shift of your 1,000th game. Marchessault tried centering the puck, it bounced off a stick and over Gustavsson's head and into the net. 1-0 Vegas only 22 seconds in.
