Goals by Dave Chyzowski, Chris Luongo and Joe Day gave Salt Lake its first period lead and a second-period goal by Darryl Olsen extended to 4-2 before Las Vegas took over. Las Vegas scored four straight goals to take a 6-4 lead before Sandy Smith scored for the Eagles to make the final score 6-5. The two teams meet again tonight in Las Vegas.
