Mark Stone scores a pair as Golden Knights edge Flyers in OT

Mark Stone scored two goals, including the game-winner 2:47 into overtime, to lead the Vegas Golden Knights to a 3-2 victory over the host Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night.

Jack Eichel had two assists, setting up the winner with a bullet pass from the left corner to Stone by the right side of the crease, where he chipped a shot over the left pad of Flyers goaltender Dan Vladar.

Zach Whitecloud also scored and Akira Schmid finished with 17 saves for Vegas, which extended its point streak to six games (5-0-1) and moved into a tie for first place in the Pacific Division with the Anaheim Ducks.

Trevor Zegras and Noah Juulsen each scored for Philadelphia, while Christian Dvorak had two assists and Vladar made 18 saves.

Vegas took a 1-0 lead at the 6:07 mark of the first period when Whitecloud, breaking down the slot, took a pass from Ivan Barbashev and put a backhand shot past Vladar for his first goal since Feb. 8 at Boston.

Philadelphia tied it near the end of the period when Travis Sanheim fired a crossing pass from above the left circle to Zegras by the right post. Zegras then tapped in a shot for his team-high 11th goal.

The Golden Knights regained the lead, 2-1, midway through the second period with a power-play goal by Stone, who jammed in his own rebound through Vladar's pads to extend his point streak to 14 games.

The Flyers tied it again at the 16:08 mark when Juulsen one-timed a Dvorak pass from the middle of the left circle for his first goal since Feb. 17, 2024, when he was a member of the Vancouver Canucks.

Philadelphia had a chance to take the lead midway through the third period when Sean Couturier went in on a clean breakaway, but his wrist shot caromed off the left post.
