Marner's debut but Eichel steals the show in OT victory
VGK got its first preseason win but they had to rally from a 2-0 deficit to beat the visiting Utah Mammoth 3-2 in overtime. It was the first time Mitch Marner appeared for the Golden Knights and we had a glimpse of what it will be like with two superstars - Marner and Eichel - skating on the same line. Marner made an elite backhanded pass through traffic that found Eichel and he put the puck home. Marner put a lot of pucks on or near the net.
