ST. PAUL, Minn. — Jonathan Marchessault scored into an empty net 3:30 into overtime to give the Vegas Golden Knights a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday. Vegas earned two points and Minnesota zero, thanks to a rule that penalizes any team that loses after pulling its goalie in overtime. Michael Amadio also scored and Logan Thompson stopped 32 shots for the Golden Knights, who are 5-0-1 in their last sixth and sit in third place in the Pacific Division. Kirill Kaprizov scored Minnesota's lone goal. Filip Gustavsson made 29 saves for the Wild, who are fading in the playoff race, having to pass two teams to earn the final wild card spot in the West.
