- With Columbus controlling the puck, officials did not stop play under NHL Rule 8.1, and Boone Jenner scored the opener.
- Akira Schmid came on in relief and made 21 saves as Vegas overturned a 2-0 deficit for its second straight win.
- Reilly Smith scored twice, Mark Stone extended his goal streak to six games, and Jack Eichel and Brett Howden added goals.
- Vegas remains thin in net with Adin Hill out since Oct. 20, though he practiced Thursday, and Hart’s status remains developing after his October signing and Dec. 2 team debut.
