Recap Who needs James Neal and Reilly Smith when the Vegas Golden Knights have www.knightsstoreonline.com ... Alex Tuch and Cody Eakin?Yes, the third line lives. There probably wasn a set of players that needed to get going offensively more than Eakin and Tuch, with both scoring two goals and Marc-Andre Fleury recording a 28-save shutout for a 4-0 Vegas win against the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on Thursday.The Golden Knights won their 19th road game this season, tying the 1993-94 Mighty Ducks of Anaheim for most by a team in its inaugural season, just in case you were thinking the Golden Knights couldn break anymore expansion records this season. It a win that came at an opportune time for Vegas, after losing 4-1 in Columbus on Tuesday.Fleury rebounded from allowing those four goals the other night for his 47th career shutout and 398th career victory. It Fleury third shutout this season, as he defeated the team that cost him two months of this season with a concussion.This was Tuch first multi-goal game of his career. His first goal snapped a six-game goalless streak at 224 of the first period. He scored again at 1838 of the second period for his 12th and 13th goals of what been an up-and-down rookie campaign for Tuch www.knightsstoreonline.com .Eakin, meanwhile, recorded his first multi-goal game since Oct. 10, 2015 for his eighth and ninth goals of the season, both coming in the second period. William Karlsson recorded his 25th assist in the second period, giving him 60 points this year.AnalysisWee reached that point of the season where any win for the Golden Knights is in much-needed’ territory.Just when it looked like the Golden Knights broke out of their post-trade deadline slump with a win at New Jersey, they fell flat in Columbus two nights later — which made Vegas’ trip to Detroit all the more important. The final two games of this five-game road trip are going to be magnified greatly with 15 games to go.But for one night, the Golden Knights got back on track with a performance that they desperately needed to have at both ends, and it came from the unlikeliest of heroes.It seemed like this game was coming for Tuch after getting so many scoring chances over the last five games. His first goal was a great individual effort and was one of the rare opportunities Tuch has had the chance to make a play on that third line that somehow sucks the offensive life force out of the building.GOAL! Alex Tuch with a SNIPE to give Vegas the lead.
