Captain Mark Stone scored a power-play goal and added two assists, while Jack Eichel assisted on the first two goals in his 700th career game. Forward Trevor Connelly contributed a goal and an assist, and goaltender Adin Hill made 22 saves.
The Knights improved to 8-2-0, winning seven of their last eight games. Pittsburgh fell to 3-5-1, playing their second straight game after a 5-2 loss in Colorado. Vegas scored four goals in the first period and never trailed after building a 4-0 lead.
This marks the second time in franchise history the Knights have scored 40 goals through their first 10 games. Four of Vegas’ six defensemen registered a point in the victory. Jeremy Lauzon was on the ice for Andersson’s goal and fought for the second time since Monday.
