Knights draw first blood

Tomas Nosek struck twice as the Vegas Golden Knights staged a late fightback to defeat the Washington Capitals 6-4 in a thrilling opening Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals on Monday. A wild encounter at the T-Mobile Arena saw the lead change hands five times as the Knights launched their hopes of becoming the first expansion side in history to win the National Hockey League showpiece at the first attempt. The hastily assembled team of 500-1 outsiders were made to dig deep on Monday after Washington looked to have taken a decisive 4-3 lead through Tom Wilson in the third period. But a Ryan Reaves goal levelled the score at 4-4 before Nosek’s double sealed the win.
