Then moving into the 2nd period, Tanner Pearson scores to give them a 2-0 lead with assists coming from Nicolas Roy and Keegan Kolesar. Moving forward into the 3rd period, Anton Ludell of the Panthers would pull one back to make it a 2-1 game 1:56 into the 3rd. But then Jack Eichel would make it a two-goal lead again making it 3-1 and then with 29 seconds left, Tomas Hertl put in the empty netter to wrap the game up making it 4-1 and putting it in the win column for the Golden Knights who moved back to first in the Pacific Division.
