Mark Stone scores a hat trick in the third period to help the Vegas Golden Knights defeat the Calgary Flames 6-2 at T-Mobile Arena. Multiple outlets describe the scoring surge as Vegas turns the game decisively, with the Golden Knights adding to their lead and closing out the win comfortably.
The win improves Vegas to 7-2-0 and places the club atop the NHL standings, with one report citing 14 points. Several accounts also note that Vegas gets an early strike—about 25 seconds into the game in one summary—and contributes through special teams as it builds momentum. Outlets differ slightly in phrasing, including how they characterize Stone’s hat trick (regular-season totals and career count), but they agree on the game result, Stone’s third-period performance, and Vegas’s strong start to the season.
