It was only a matter of time, but that doesn't make it any less impressive.

The Vegas Golden Knights broke the NHL record for wins by an expansion team Thursday night thanks to an overtime victory against the Winnipeg Jets.

It was the Golden Knights' 34th win of the season, breaking the previous mark held by both the Florida Panthers and the then-Anaheim Mighty Ducks, who each won 33 games in 1993-94.

David Perron scored the overtime winner nearly four minutes into the extra frame Thursday night. Vegas had a 2-1 lead late in the third period, but Jets forward Kyle Connor tied it up with less than three minutes left in regulation.

The Golden Knights improved to 34-12-4 through 50 games, padding their lead atop the Pacific Division.
