Breaking: Neal breaking all kinds of records!

The Vegas Golden Knights are off to a hot start - collecting three straight wins to start their inaugural campaign, a NHL record for a new franchise.

The Golden Knights' top offensive player, James Neal - selected from the Nashville Predators at the expansion draft, has been shattering records and carrying this team in its early goings.

For starters.

Players w/ 5+ goals in expansion team’s first 3 GP (since 1967-68; @EliasSports):

He's tied for most goals by a player in a new expansion team in 50 years.

He also becomes only the fourth player to score in each of his team's first 3 games.

He also becomes only the second player ever to accomplish this feat:
