Takeaways Senators: Ullmark was 2-0 with a 1.50 goals-against average and .947 save percentage after allowing three goals in two career starts against Vegas. The five goals he allowed Friday were the most he’s allowed since the New York Islanders beat him for five last season on March 2.

Golden Knights: Both Stone and Eichel continued their offensive tear, as they've registered at least one point in seven of Vegas’ first eight games this season. Stone leads the team with 14 points, with Eichel just behind with 13.

Key moment Trailing 4-3, the Golden Knights got back-to-back goals from Hertl and Kolesar with a little more than three minutes left in the game. Barbashev’s empty-netter sealed the win.

Key stat 5 — Vegas, which improved to 5-2-1 on the year, is now a perfect 5-0-0 at home.

Up Next The Senators visit Colorado on Sunday, while the Golden Knights host San Jose on Saturday night.
