LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — After a shaky start, the Vegas Golden Knights came back to beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-3 on the road Friday night.

The Blackhawks got one in the net late in the first period, which ended without a Golden Knights goal.

Mark Stone tied it up to kick off the second period, and Victor Oloffson scored another to give the Knights a 2-1 lead that would be short-lived. Back-to-back goals from the Blackhawks left the Knights trailing 3-2 to end the second period.

Oloffson would answer back, kicking off the final period with his second goal of the night and tying the game at 3-3.

Late in the third, goals from Pavel Dorofyev and Brett Howden would put the final score at 5-3 for the VGK. They’ve now secured their fifth win on the road.

Up next, the Golden Knights travel to Nashville to face the Predators on Saturday. That game airs at 3:30 p.m. on Vegas 34 and KnightTime+
