Tomas Hertl scored two power-play goals, including the game-winner with 34.1 seconds remaining, as the visiting Vegas Golden Knights rallied for a 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night.
With Tommy Novak in the penalty box for tripping Mark Stone, Hertl roofed a cross-crease pass from Stone into the top-right corner for his seventh goal of the season and team-leading fifth on the power play.
Trevor Connelly also scored, and Jack Eichel had two assists for Vegas, which won for just the second time in nine games in Pittsburgh in franchise history (2-6-1). The Golden Knights’ only other victory at Pittsburgh came on Oct. 19, 2019.
Adin Hill made 23 saves for the Golden Knights, who snapped a two-game losing streak and won for the second time in seven games (2-3-2).
Novak scored a goal and had an assist, Kaedan Korczak had two assists, and Rickard Rakell also scored for Pittsburgh. Arturs Silovs finished with 20 saves.
Vegas, playing the second game of a back-to-back that began with a 3-2 shootout loss at Boston on Monday, took a 1-0 lead at the 16:36 mark of the first period on Hertl’s power-play goal. He backhanded in a rebound of a Mitch Marner shot from the slot.
Pittsburgh tied it 1-1 early in the third period when Novak put in a rebound of Korczak’s point shot for his fifth goal.
The Penguins took a 2-1 lead midway through the period when Rakell roofed a rebound from the left side of the net to extend his goal streak to four straight games.
The Golden Knights tied it at the 11:19 mark on a breakaway goal by Connelly, who deked Silovs with a backhand-to-forehand move before sliding a shot inside the left post for his sixth goal.
