Tomáš Hertl led the Vegas Golden Knights to a 6-2 victory over the Seattle Kraken, recording four points with two goals and two assists. His performance makes him the most productive Czech player in the NHL at the start of the season.

Hertl scored his first goal in the 14th minute and added a second shortly after during a power play. In the third period, he scored a third goal by deking goaltender Philipp Grubauer before assisting on a goal for Victor Olofsson.

Other notable performances from Czech and Slovak players included Juraj Slafkovský, who scored for the Montreal Canadiens in a 4-6 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, and Karel Vejmelka, who made 29 saves for the Utah Mammoth in a 5-3 win over the New Jersey Devils.
