Jack Eichel netted his first goal of the series, helping the Vegas Golden Knights secure a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild in Game 6, advancing them to the second round. Eichel's goal came late in the second period, with Adin Hill delivering a stellar performance in net, making 29 saves. Shea Theodore and Mark Stone also contributed goals for Vegas, while Ryan Hartman scored twice for Minnesota, including a late wraparound goal that narrowed the gap.

Despite a strong effort, Minnesota faced yet another playoff series loss, marking their ninth consecutive defeat in the postseason. Vegas' success saw them rebound from a challenging series, with Stone's performance particularly notable as he assisted Eichel's goal and scored one himself. The Knights will now await the victor of the Edmonton-Los Angeles series, adding to the excitement as the playoffs progress.
