They're halfway to their second consecutive victory in the series after Brett Howden scored twice to pad his playoff-leading total to 13 goals. Vegas lost key defensive defenseman Brayden McNabb just past the midway point of the first period. McNabb took a face to the nose off a slap shot from Nikolaj Ehlers, dropped to the ice, skated immediately off the ice and did not return after intermission. Game 3 is Saturday in Las Vegas.
