Vegas goaltender Malcolm Subban, who finished with 22 saves, stopped a
backhand shot by Aleksander Barkov with his glove but the puck then fluttered
near the crossbar, where Golden Knights center William Karlsson swatted it
right to Ekblad in the slot. The fourth-year veteran fired it past Subban for
the game-winner.
Barkov had a goal and two assists and Jamie McGinn and Evgenii Dadonov also
scored goals for Florida. James Reimer, starting his 17th consecutive game and
playing in his 19th consecutive game in goal for the Panthers, finished with
33 saves.
Karlsson, David Perron and James Neal scored for Western Conference-leading
Vegas, which drew within one point of Tampa Bay for best record in the NHL.
Canadiens 3, Capitals 2
Max Pacioretty finished with two goals and an assist, and Paul Byron scored
the tie-breaking goal midway through the third period as Montreal won at
Washington.
Pacioretty's first goal gave the Canadiens a 1-0 lead in the second period but
his assist in the third helped Montreal snap a three-game losing streak.
