Golden Knights rally after slow start, beat Kings 4-2

<p>LOS ANGELES &mdash; Max Pacioretty scored his 300th career goal, Mark Stone had a goal and an assis, and the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-2 on Monday night.</p>
<p>Nicolas Roy and Alex Tuch also scored for the Golden Knights, who won their third straight game. Robin Lehner stopped 26 shots.</p>
<p>Austin Wagner and Anze Kopitar scored for the Kings, who have lost five of seven. Cal Petersen had 37 saves.</p>
<p>Los Angeles led 2-0 midway through the second period before Vegas rallied.</p>
<p>Roy cut it to 2-1 with 5:40 left in the middle period by beating Petersen five-hole during a 2-on-1 break. </p>
<p>Stone tied it up with a short-handed goal on a breakaway with 27 seconds to go in the period. The danger had been coming for Los Angeles, as Chandler Stephenson had put his shot over the net on a short-handed breakaway earlier in the power play. </p>
<p>Tuch came out of his own end to lead an odd-man rush and beat Petersen to the near side with a wrist shot that put Vegas ahead 3-2 at 4:35 of the third.</p>
<p>Pacioretty scored on the power play at 8:22 to cap the scoring and become the 25th active player with 300 goals. </p>
<p>The Kings went ahead at 9:41 of the first when Wagner shot between Lehner’s legs on a breakaway.</p>
<p>Kopitar extended the lead to 2-0 at 8:57 of the second. Dustin Brown made a cheeky pass from behind Lehner’s net to set up Kopitar with a one-timer for his ninth goal. Brown has one goal and three assists during a four-game point streak.</p>
<p>Alex Iafallo had the secondary assist after signing a four-year contract extension worth $16 million earlier in the day.</p>
<p>NO DICE</p>
<p>Ryan Reaves and Keegan Kolesar did not play after sustaining undisclosed injures in the Golden Knights’ 1-0 win over Arizona on Sunday. Neither player traveled with the team to Los Angeles, coach Pete DeBoer said, and Reaves was placed on injured reserve Monday. </p>
