(AP) The rest of the hockey world may be waiting for the expansion Golden Knights to come crashing back to reality. Vegas is having way too much fun to be concerned.
The Golden Knights’ remarkable inaugural season kept getting better Thursday night with their sixth consecutive victory http://www.dallascowboysteamonline.com/mike-white-jersey , a 3-2 overtime win over the Los Angeles Kings.
David Perron’s goal 3:30 into OT won it for the Knights, who have points in 11 consecutive games (10-0-1), an expansion team record. The victory increased their lead over the second-place Kings in the Pacific Division to three points.

Brendan Leipsic and Jonathan Marchessault also scored for the Knights, who got 26 stops from veteran goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.
The Knights continue to play like a team that’s been together for years http://www.jacksonvillejaguarsteamonline.com/dj-chark-jersey , not one recently assembled.
”It was something I was worried about coming into camp,” Fleury said. ”But right from the start, we’re all in the same boat. All coming from different teams. We have to make it work. It’s just been fun. We have a great group of guys. It’s fun to come to the rink and play together.”
The Kings scored first off a shot from Derek Forbort that deflected off the stick of Marchessault, and then apparently, off the shoulder of the Kings’ Marian Gaborik.
Gaborik was credited with his sixth goal.
But in the Knights completely dominated the second period, outshooting the Kings 15-3 and tying it on Marchessault’s goal.
