Jack Eichel and Ivan Barbashev each had a goal and two assists and the visiting Vegas Golden Knights tied a franchise record by scoring five goals in the second period en route to a 6-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night.

The Vegas Golden Knights exploded for five unanswered goals in the second period to roll over the Montreal Canadiens 6-2 on Saturday night.

In the second period, Vegas scored five goals on 13 shots and put a franchise-tying 11 players on the score sheet in a 6-2 win over the Canadiens. It was the offensive breakthrough that the Golden Knights had been vying for for nearly two weeks.

MONTREAL -- The Vegas Golden Knights scored five straight goals in the second period and won 6-2 against the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre on Saturday. Ivan Barbashev and Jack Eichel each had a goal and two assists for Vegas (13-6-2), which won 3-2 at the Ottawa Senators on Thursday, and has won four of six. Adin Hill made 15 saves.

Just when the Montreal Canadiens seemed to be gaining some momentum, they were brought up short in a 6-2 loss at home to the Vegas Golden Knights.

One of Ilya Samsonov's best games of the season couldn't have come at a better time. In fact, he promised Senators goalie Linus Ullmark he'd win Thursday's game back in August.
