Jack Eichel had a goal and an assist, Adin Hill made 29 saves and the Golden Knights defeated the Minnesota Wild 3-2 in Game 6 of their first-round series Thursday night at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn.

Hill improved to 4-0 all-time in Game 6 as the Knights' goaltender.

With the win, Vegas eliminated the Wild and will next face the winner of the Los Angeles Kings-Edmonton Oilers series. The Oilers led the series 3-2 ahead of Game 6 in Edmonton on Thursday night.

Captain Mark Stone and defenseman Shea Theodore also had a goal and an assist each to help the Knights advance into the second round for the fifth time in eight seasons.

"I think ever since I got here, that's the message, that we want to win," Theodore said. "Guys care about it every year; that's our goal in training camp. It's good to see us playing well at the right time."

Stone, who assisted on Eichel's goal with a stretch pass out of the zone that was inches out of reach of the stick of Minnesota star Kirill Kaprizov after he dived to try to prevent the breakaway, had four points in the last three games of the series.

Ryan Hartman scored both goals for Minnesota, which has lost nine consecutive series in the NHL playoffs.
