Overview
- Logan Cooley recorded four straight goals and an assist, including a natural hat trick capped by empty-netters, marking the NHL’s first four-goal game this season.
- Dylan Guenther added a goal and an assist for Utah, while Karel Vejmelka stopped 33 shots to back the 5-1 home win.
- Ivan Barbashev scored the lone Vegas goal and Carl Lindbom made 20 saves, remaining winless through six NHL starts.
- The game turned on a third-period Jack Eichel turnover that sprung Cooley for a breakaway, echoing a costly Mitch Marner giveaway in Vegas’ previous overtime loss to Anaheim.
- The matchup came five days after Vegas’ 4-1 win in Salt Lake City; both clubs now return home to host Ottawa on Wednesday.
