Olofsson and Hertl each score twice as Golden Knights down Kraken 6-2

Victor Olofsson and Tomas Hertl each scored two goals as the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Seattle Kraken 6-2 on Tuesday night. The win gave Vegas a decisive margin, with both multi-goal scorers helping push the game out of reach while the Kraken struggled to match Vegas’s pace and finishing.

Olofsson’s two-goal performance anchored one end of the scoring, with Hertl answering for the Golden Knights on the other. Having two separate attackers go for multiple goals matters because it reduces the burden on any one line or matchup. Instead of being forced to rely on a single hot hand, Vegas had multiple ways to create scoring chances that led directly to goals.

Vegas also got production beyond its two-goal leaders. Mark Stone recorded a goal and an assist to become the third player in Golden Knights history to reach 400 points with the team. Point milestones like that are a way to measure longevity and impact, and Stone’s place among the franchise’s top totals reflects how consistently he has contributed across seasons.

For Seattle, the 6-2 scoreline left little room for error as the Golden Knights continued to generate offensive pressure. When a team allows multiple goal runs and faces a deficit that grows quickly, even solid periods can be hard to sustain, particularly against opponents capable of receiving scoring from more than one forward or creating from the rush.

The Golden Knights have built their identity around structured play that can become more urgent once they have the puck. In this matchup, Vegas’s ability to convert early looks into goals helped set the tone, and the final tally suggests Seattle never fully regained control of the game’s momentum.

Stone’s 400th point adds another layer to the night for Vegas fans, because it ties the current performance to the franchise’s longer-term storyline. Reaching that mark as only the third player in team history also sets a benchmark for how the Golden Knights value two-way responsibility and playmaking production, not just single-season bursts.

Looking ahead, Seattle will need to tighten its approach after conceding six, while Vegas will likely look to build on a scoring distribution that included two different players with a pair of goals each. The immediate takeaway is straightforward: Vegas can finish, and it can do so with more than one driver.
