The Golden Knights took a 1-0 lead 4:22 of the second period. Alex Pietrangelo’s backdoor pass deflected off the stick of Hurricanes forward Sebastian Aho to Hertl, who cut toward the slot from the left circle and scored with a backhand.

The Vegas Golden Knights haven't been in full bounce-back mode often this season. But that might be the case for their game against the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night at Raleigh, N.C. Some of the shine has come off Vegas with losses in three of its last four games.

Jackson Blake also scored in the third for the Hurricanes, who scored three straight goals after falling behind 1-0. Pyotr Kochetkov withstood a steady stream of first-period shots before finishing with 29 saves for Carolina, including a stop on Keegan Kolesar's penalty shot midway through the second that denied Vegas a 2-0 lead.
