As expected, Knights take care of business in handling Flames, 6-2
A Brett Howden goal 26 seconds in and a Mark Stone third-period natural hat trick was more than enough to handle Calgary.
In an NHL game on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the Vegas Golden Knights faced off against the Calgary Flames. The Golden Knights, currently leading the Pacific Division, were expected to win and they did so convincingly, defeating the Flames 6-2. The game saw goals from every category, including even strength, shorthanded, and power play, with a hat trick from Mark Stone in the third period.
The Knights' dominant performance came despite a sloppy execution at times, while the Flames, leading 1-5 heading into the match, struggled to score. The team's attendance was low at 16,433, reflecting the economic challenges in the current era. Despite the low turnout, the Knights managed to secure a victory, bringing their start to 7-2.
The win could be a positive for the Knights as they face a tougher challenge against the Pittsburgh Penguins, who will be coming in the second game of a back-to-back.
