LAS VEGAS (AP) — Tomas Hertl scored his second hat trick this month and the Vegas Golden Knights knocked off the Detroit Red Wings 6-3 on Saturday night.

Hertl scored twice in the first period to erase an early 1-0 deficit. His first goal came on the power play with 8:13 left when Stone flipped a pass across the front of the net and Hertl was there for the deflection.

Hertl’s second came with 3:28 left off another tip-in. His third, also on the power play, came at the 8:02 mark of the second.

Takeaways

Golden Knights: Vegas lost 3-0 at Detroit six days ago. But the Knights have been dominant at home with a 27-7-3 record.

Red Wings: Detroit scored twice while on the power play. The first came at 4:47 of the first period by Raymond and the second at 1:49 of the second period by Kane.

Key moment

Vegas had a goal wiped out because of an offside call with 1:58 left in the first period that would have made the score 3-1. But with three seconds left before the buzzer, Roy took a pass from Ivan Barbashev and flipped a backhanded shot past Talbot and the Knights had their 3-1 lead.

Key stat

Hertl’s hat trick was the third straight for the Golden Knights at home. Hertl had three goals on March 9 in a 6-5 loss to the Los Angeles Kings and on Thursday night Pavel Dorofeyev scored three times as the Knights beat the Boston Bruins 5-1.

Up next

Vegas wraps up a three-game home stand Sunday night against Tampa Bay, while the Red Wings play at Utah on Monday night.
