Braedan Bowman and Jakub Brabenec continue to impress

The lone goal-scorers from Friday's victory also contributed solid goals in the 5-3 victory, making them the difference-makers once again. Braedan Bowman and Jakub Brabenec put the Vegas Golden Knights up early with impressive goals, giving them a much-needed offensive spark.

Bowman's goal was a simple feed, with Tuomas Uronen skating to the back of the net. He finds his fellow forward for a scoring opportunity in front, where Bowman finishes the job. As for Brabenec, he fired another wrister for a goal, which has become his de facto shot.

As both rookies find more confidence with their shots and playmaking abilities, it helps their development and gives the Golden Knights more reliable prospects. Sunday's showing is proof of this, with both forwards taking another step towards eventually making the main roster.
