The Vegas Golden Knights secured a 2-1 overtime win over the Los Angeles Kings at T-Mobile Arena, improving to four straight victories. The game was defined by special teams and goaltending, as all three goals came on the power play. Vegas killed off a 5-on-3 advantage early in the first period after the Kings were given two power plays within 29 seconds of each other, setting the tone for the night.
Carter Hart made 26 saves and came up with big stops during the two-man disadvantage, followed by two crucial stops in the first 50 seconds of overtime. The Knights went 2-for-3 on the penalty kill but still won the special teams battle with two power-play goals. Darcy Kuemper stopped 30 shots for Los Angeles, standing on his head in the second period when Vegas outshot the Kings 14-3.
Mitch Marner scored the overtime winner, and Hart praised the team’s effort, saying, 'Guys are just having fun. We’re coming to the rink. We’re competing. We’re working. We’re just sticking to our game.' The Knights will now head on a back-to-back road trip to Minnesota and Nashville starting Monday.
