Vegas Golden Knights forward Keegan Kolesar was on the wrong end of a brief first-period fight in Saturday's game against the Florida Panthers, the first contest between the teams since the Stanley Cup Final in June. Kolesar had knocked Florida Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk out of Game 3 of the series with a booming, legal check. The Golden Knights won the Cup. On Saturday, Kolesar and rugged Panthers player Ryan Lomberg squared off right after a faceoff during the first period. The Panthers won 4-2 with Tkachuk picking up two assists and getting involved in a scuffle with Vegas' Alex Pietrangelo as time expired.
