Associated Press  

LAS VEGAS — Jack Eichel, Nicolas Roy and Pavel Dorofeyev each had a goal and an assist, Chandler Stephenson had four assists and the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Minnesota Wild 7-2 Friday night to clinch a playoff berth for the sixth time in seven seasons. “I’m more happy about being able to clinch the playoffs today, but I feel very good to score the first one in the building because it’s a lot of fun to play here.” Marat Khusnutdinov and Ryan Hartman scored for the Wild. The Golden Knights scored three goals on special teams, including two on power plays for the third time in five games. “It doesn’t matter who you play, so we’ll have a good discussion tomorrow.” The Knights scored goals on three of their first shots, two of them on special teams.
