Dansk party: Vegas goalie halts Chicago

By W.G. Ramirez
Associated Press
LAS VEGAS Oscar Dansk
stopped 29 shots for his second
career win in two appearances,
and the Vegas Golden Knights
beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-2
on Tuesday night for their fourth
straight victory.
Dansk made his first NHL start
after replacing injured Malcolm
Subban during a 3-2 win over
the St. Louis Blues on Saturday.
The 23-year-old gave up goals to
John Hayden and Patrick Kane,
but was otherwise stellar for the
Golden Knights.
Vegas is the 10th expansion
team to put together a four-game
winning streak. The Golden
Knights are 7-1-0 in their inaugu-
ral season.
This one didnt start so prom-
ising. Hayden stuffed one past
Dansk just 3:33 minutes into the
game for a short-handed goal.
The Golden Knights didnt take
long to answer. William Karlsson
tipped Colin Millers shot from
the point past Chicagos Corey
Crawford.
A little over a minute later, Tomas
Nosek pushed Deryk Engellands
rebound under Crawfords pads to
give the Golden Knights a 2-1 lead.
Pierre-Edourard Bellemare ex-
tended the lead to 3-1 late in the
second when he smacked Noseks
pass from behind the net past
Crawford.
Activated from the injured re-
serve list hours before the game,
Jonathan Marchessault took a pass
from Nate Schmidt and hit the
upper left corner of the goal with a
shot Crawford never saw, making
it 4-1 with 9:40 left in the game.
Kane finished the scoring with
1:05 left, extending his point
streak to six games, the longest
this season by a Blackhawks
player.
Crawford stopped 29 of 33
shots on goal.
NOTES
Nationals star and Las Vegas
High School grad Bryce Harper
was at the game. ... The Gold-
en Knights came into the game
allowing 2.43 goals per game,
fourth-best in the league, with
the Blackhawks right behind
them at 2.44. ... Vegas reassigned
Vadim Shipachyov to the AHLs
Chicago Wolves to make room
for Marchessault, who has en-
joyed success against Chicago,
recording a hat trick last season,
in March. He has two 3-point
games against the Blackhawks
in his career. ... Though he didnt
register a point Tuesday, Golden
Knights left wing James Neal has
20 points (14 goals, six assists) in
28 games against Chicago. The
Blackhawks are one of four teams
Neal has recorded at least 20
career points against. ... Chica-
go came into the game having
killed 22 of 25 penalites over its
previous six games. It killed four
of five against Vegas. ... Duncan
Keith leads the Hawks with seven
assists but has yet to score a goal.
