Nicolas Roy, Marc Stone and Paul Cotter netted third-period goals as the visiting Vegas Golden Knights continued their surge with a 5-3 win against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday night.
Vegas stretched its season-opening winning streak to six games, the longest by a defending Stanley Cup champion in league history. Vegas entered play tied with the 1985-86 Edmonton Oilers and 1920-21 Ottawa Senators for the longest such streak by a reigning champ.
Thirteen players notched points for the Golden Knights. Cotter contributed a goal and an assist, while Michael Amadio had two assists.
Chicago forward Connor Bedard, the top pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, gave the hosts an early lead to send the United Center crowd into a frenzy in the Blackhawks' home opener.
