Golden Knights Defeat Wild 4-1, Reclaim NHL Points Lead

Vegas breaks two-game losing streak with dominant third-period performance, tying Washington and Winnipeg atop the league standings.

Pavel Dorofeyev led the Golden Knights with two power-play goals and an assist in the 4-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild.
The win elevates Vegas to 61 points, tying them with the Capitals and Jets for the NHL's best record.
Keegan Kolesar scored the game-winning goal early in the third period, breaking a 1-1 tie after a prolonged offensive slump for Vegas.
Minnesota's Filip Gustavsson made 32 saves but couldn't stop Vegas' late surge, while Ryan Hartman scored the Wild's lone goal.
Jack Eichel, Vegas' leading scorer, missed the game due to illness, but center Nicolas Roy returned to the lineup after an 11-game absence.
