The Golden Knights opened their road trip with the type of game they\u2019d been chasing, ending a four-game skid with a sharp 4\u20131 win over the St. Louis Blues on Saturday night at Enterprise Center. Vegas scored twice in the opening seven minutes and handled the rest with steady, simple hockey.<\/p>\n

Brandon Saad got things going with his first of the season against his former team. Minutes later, rookie Braeden Bowman tipped in a Pavel Dorofeyev pass on the power play for his first NHL goal, sending the bench into a loud celebration.<\/p>\n

\u201cGuys were happy for him,\u201d coach Bruce Cassidy said. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing secondary offense now, and when that happens for us, good things usually follow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vegas stayed in control early in the second when Noah Hanifin buried a one-timer through traffic to make it 3\u20130. Akira Schmid handled the rest, stopping 22 shots and keeping the Blues off the board until the final four minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a dream come true,\u201d Bowman said. \u201cIt\u2019s a big win. We know we\u2019re back at it tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorofeyev finished with three assists, and Cassidy said Bowman\u2019s arrival helped settle the lineup.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a domino effect,\u201d Cassidy said. \u201cIt lets us build that third line with Reilly Smith, Saad and Howden\u2014veteran guys who know how to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tomas Hertl added the 4\u20130 breakaway goal in the third before St. Louis finally spoiled Schmid\u2019s night late. Vegas closed it out cleanly, showing the structure and pace missing during the losing streak.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe created turnovers and capitalized,\u201d Saad said. \u201cOverall, it was a really good game for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The win moves Vegas to\u00a08\u20134\u20135 (21 points)<\/strong> as the Knights head to Minnesota for the second half of the back-to-back.<\/p>\n

The Golden Knights travel to Minnesota to face the Wild today at\u00a03 p.m. PT<\/strong>. Minnesota enters at\u00a08\u20137\u20134 (20 points)<\/strong>\u00a0and won its last game in overtime.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s on to the next,\u201d Saad said. \u201cWe know we\u2019ve got a tough team tomorrow.<\/p>\n

“We didn\u2019t play our best tonight, and it\u2019s frustrating. The injuries are piling up, but we can\u2019t let that be an excuse. We\u2019ve got to fight through it, especially when we have a chance to take control. We\u2019ll need to learn from this and be ready for the road trip.”<\/p>\n
