Hertl has goals, assists and the Golden Knights’ top-Ducks

Hertl and Keegan Kolesar each had a goal and an assist for Vegas (23-8-3), which has won four straight and won eight of its last nine. Adin Hill made 31 saves.

“We play good hockey. We’re getting points, so that’s good,” Vegas forward William Karlsson said. “Now we have a three-day break and we have to stay on track.”

Mason McTavish scored a goal for Anaheim (13-16-4), which was playing its second straight game after defeating the Utah Hockey Club 5-4 in a shootout on Sunday.

“Vegas was in control for most of the first two periods. I thought we still had a lot of life after the first goal. We pushed until the end,” Anaheim coach Greg Cronin said. “It’s unfortunate that we missed the late goal. We had no chance of reaching the goalkeeper who was pulled out. I love the effort. I thought we competed hard.”

Anaheim goaltender John Gibson left the game at 17:32 of the first period after Tanner Laczynski’s stick hit him in the eye. He made 11 saves. In relief, Lukas Dostal made 19 saves.

“He was great,” Anaheim defenseman Radko Gudas said of Dostal. “He always gives us a chance to win.”

Tanner Pearson scored a shorthanded goal at 19:19 of the first period to make it 1-0 after McTavish turned the puck over in his defensive zone.
