Tomas Hertl's power-play goal with 32.8 seconds left lifts the Golden Knights past the Penguins 3-2.
Pittsburgh went 0-for-6 on the power play, while Vegas went 2-for-4, according to The Hockey News. It was the third straight game the Penguins controlled play late and lost. Coach Dan Muse said the team has to be more resilient in those situations.

Boston is 11-4-1 and Pittsburgh is 5-8-2, and the teams meet for the first time this season, according to the Associated Press. The Penguins are 4-1-1 at home and have lost their last three games in regulation or overtime, while the Bruins are 7-2-1 over their last 10. Pittsburgh is missing Bryan Rust, Trevor van Riemsdyk, Ryan Graves and Elmer Soderblom, and Evgeni Malkin is day to day. David Pastrnak leads Boston with eight goals and 12 assists.
