Golden Knights pull away from Blackhawks, win Craig's debut as coach

The Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 5-2 on Tuesday at T-Mobile Arena in Ryan Craig's debut as head coach, with Jack Eichel recording a goal and two assists. Craig, who was hired on June 17 to replace John Tortorella after three seasons coaching Henderson in the AHL, received contributions from Victor Olofsson, Trevor Connelly, Noah Hanifin, and Mark Stone, while Carter Hart made 24 saves. Patrick Kane scored in his return to Chicago's lineup and Jordan Greenway tallied in his Blackhawks debut, but Spencer Knight's 32 saves were not enough to prevent the loss.
