- Tuesday night the Vegas Golden Knights routed the San Jose Sharks 7-2 at T‑Mobile Arena, powered by five first-period goals.
- Coach Bruce Cassidy pressed for a more direct, north-south approach after back-to-back losses, pairing Mark Stone and Mitch Marner to spark offense in the home game.

- Looking ahead, Vegas hosts Colorado Avalanche Saturday and Minnesota Wild Monday after players called their five-goal first period a Christmas present for Coach Bruce Cassidy, a rare franchise achievement.
