LAS VEGAS (AP) — Jonathan Marchessault and William Karlsson have struggled to find the back of the net since Dec. 22 Laurent Brossoit Jersey Womens , scoring a combined three goals over 12 games.Vegas’ dynamic top-line forwards topped that Saturday night.Marchessault scored three goals for his second career hat trick and Karlsson got his 16th of the season to help lead the Golden Knights to a 7-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins.“Our first period we weren’t necessarily happy; as a line we take a lot of pride playing well defensively and we gave a little too much chances, but we played better in the second half of the game,” Marchessault said. “Hopefully (I) get going a little bit more here. It’s definitely been a tough stretch. I just want to get out there and help my teammates.”Marchessault scored twice less than four minutes apart in the second period to give Vegas a 5-3 lead. His empty-netter with 21 seconds left in the game completed the scoring with the Golden Knights’ first hat trick of the season and third in franchise history.Shea Theodore, Max Pacioretty and Oscar Lindberg also scored as the Golden Knights improved to 16-4-3 at home this season. Marc-Andre Fleury, who spent his first 13 seasons with the Penguins, stopped 34 shots to earn his league-leading 27th victory.“It was fun, it was busy both sides, I wish maybe there wasn’t three goals going in the net,” said Fleury, who also leads the league with 43 starts. “It’s always weird (playing against Pittsburgh), I don’t know when it will stop. Just weird to see these guys out there Timothy Liljegren Jersey Womens , guys I practiced with every day for (13) years. It’s nice to win though.”Phil Kessel, Dominik Simon and Sidney Crosby scored for Pittsburgh, and Casey DeSmith finished with 28 saves.Both goalies were exceptional against two of the more high-energy offenses in the league. All 18 Vegas skaters had at least one shot, while 14 of Pittsburgh’s 18 had one shot.“It’s a great team that you’re playing, you’re playing superstars over there, you’re playing Crosby and you’re playing (Evgeni) Malkin and those types of players – that’s the fun part of these games,” Vegas coach Gerard Gallant said. “I like the way our team responded tonight and I like the way that we competed and battled. It wasn’t looking good when it was 3-3.“We got six goals against their goaltender but I thought he was outstanding. He made some great saves and I thought Fleury made some unbelievable saves too. They both played a great game. It could’ve been a 9-7 game for somebody.”The Penguins concluded their sixth of 11 back-to-back situations, after winning 4-3 in overtime at Arizona on Friday. Pittsburgh is 8-3-1 in back to backs, going 5-0-1 the first night and 3-3-0 the second.Teams making stops in Arizona, then Vegas, are now 1-7 against the Golden Knights after playing the Coyotes.The Penguins came out flying to dominate the start of the second period to erase a two-goal deficit with consecutive goals by Simon and Crosby inside the first six minutes to tie the score 3-3. Jake Guentzel Antoine Roussel Jersey Womens , who has eight goals in nine games since the start of 2019, assisted on both goals.But after Pittsburgh’s would-be fourth goal was overturned when the NHL’s Situation Room deemed Malkin kicked the puck into the net, things began to unravel, and the Golden Knights gained momentum off Marchessault’s two goals.“We just didn’t play the game very smart; I thought the second period we were terrific, we climbed back into it, and then we end up giving up two goals late in that period that were avoidable,” Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said. “Give Vegas credit, they’re a good team, they’re hard to play against. But to a certain extent we beat ourselves.”NOTES: Alex Tuch, who assisted on Pacioretty’s goal, leads the Golden Knights with 38 points (15 goals Tim Schaller Jersey Womens , 23 assists) this season. … Malkin, who also assisted on Kessel’s goal, is just two assists shy of reaching 600 for his career. … Since being recalled from the Chicago Wolves on Dec. 19, Brandon Pirri leads Vegas with 13 points (8 goals, 5 assists), but had his four-game point streak end. … The attendance was 18,511, for the second-largest regular-season crowd in the second-year franchise’s history.UP NEXTPittsburgh: Hosts New Jersey on Jan. 28.Vegas: Hosts Minnesota on Monday. EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Connor McDavid bailed out the Edmonton Oilers with another big game.McDavid had two goals — including the tying score with 8 seconds left in regulation — and also scored in the shootout, helping the Oilers battle back for a 4-3 victory over the Florida Panthers on Thursday night.Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also scored in the shootout, and Darnell Nurse had the other goal in regulation for the Oilers Jay Beagle Jersey Womens , who have won three of their last five on the heels of a six-game losing streak.“We found a way to win a game where maybe we didn’t deserve it,” McDavid said. “But we stuck with it. It was gritty. There was just a terrible bounce for them to go ahead in the third. To lose on that would have been disappointing.”Edmonton had lost five in a row at home.“We were exhausted,” Oilers coach Ken Hitchcock said. “I thought our players really gutted it up in the third period. Everybody knew, halfway through the first period, we had nothing. They just helped each other through.“It’s a hell of a sign for having absolutely zero in the tank. To come up with two points is, for me, really, really impressive.”Frank Vatrano, Denis Malgin and Henrik Borgstrom scored for the Panthers, who have lost four games in a row.“It was unfortunate the way it ended, 8 seconds to go to get two points Curtis McKenzie Jersey Womens , I thought we played a heck of a road game,” Panthers coach Bob Boughner said. “I think we gave up 18 shots in regulation. We produced some chances, we scored a big goal at the end, we did a lot of good things. I feel bad for the guys because I thought they worked hard, I thought they responded.”Florida started the scoring just before the midway mark of the first period when Vatrano scored his 12th on a shot that Edmonton’s Cam Talbot got a piece of before it trickled in past him.Edmonton got the goal back just 26 seconds later when Alex Chiasson dropped the puck back to a trailing Nurse, who blasted a shot past James Reimer. McDavid picked up his 40th assist of the season on the play.The Panthers regained the lead 4½ minutes into the second period when Malgin scored on a rebound.After failing to get a shot on a two-man advantage, the Oilers tied it with 22 seconds left in the middle frame when McDavid had an empty cage to shoot it into at the side of the net, scoring his 25th of the season.Florida got a lucky bounce to go up 3-2 with six minutes to play when Borgstrom put a puck on net that bounced off of a pair of Oilers defenders — Caleb Jones and then Adam Larsson — before caroming into the Edmonton net.“I have never seen a bounce like that,” Talbot said. “You get ones that go off of skates and at least they are being funneled toward the net. That one was being pushed away from the net and somehow ended up back in it.”The Oilers tied it with Talbot pulled and just 8 seconds left as McDavid tucked it through Reimer’s legs to send the game to extra time. McDavid also added an insurance goal in the shootout.UP NEXTPanthers: play the third game of a five-game road trip in Calgary on Friday.Oilers: remain home to host Arizona on Saturday.
