Vegas Golden Knights: Our Three Stars from Game 1 success against Sharks

It was a complete team performance from the Vegas Golden Knights as they opened their 2019-20 regular season by crushing bitter rivals the San Jose Sharks 4-1.

Playing in front of a packed and electric T-Mobile Arena to start their third year as an NHL franchise, the Vegas Golden Knights were dominant from the first drop of the puck and they had contributions from all over the ice.

Perhaps the biggest aspect of the win for the Golden Knights was the fact that their top guns truly delivered with Mark Stone, Reilly Smith and William Karlsson all recording two-point nights while Max Pacioretty also tallied an assist.

And it was a momentous night for rookie phenom Cody Glass who, on his NHL debut, scored his first-ever NHL goal after one-timing a sublime dish from Pacioretty beyond Sharks goalie Martin Jones.

It was a spectacular moment for the first draft pick in franchise history and it was the crowning moment of what was an accomplished performance from Glass, who centered a second line between Pacioretty and Stone.

Overall, it was a perfect start to the regular season for the Golden Knights who are now 2-1-0 in home openers, while they also improved to 5-1-2 against the San Jose Sharks in the regular season.

There were a slew of standout performers for the Knights on Wednesday, and we’ve tried to highlight a few by selecting our own Three Stars from the game.
