Vegas Falls in OT Thriller — But Still All Heart on the Ice
🏒 Vegas Falls in OT Thriller — But Still All Heart on the Ice
Final Score: Ducks 4 – Golden Knights 3 (OT)
Attendance: 17,977 at T-Mobile Arena
Another wild night in Paradise — the Vegas Golden Knights (7-3-4) dropped a nail-biter in overtime to the Anaheim Ducks (10-3-1), 4-3, on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena. It wasn’t the ending fans wanted, but the effort? Pure Vegas grit.
🔥 First Period – The Perfect Start
Vegas came out firing. Just six minutes in, Brett Howden buried his third goal of the season off a slick behind-the-net setup from William Karlsson, putting the Knights on the board early and the crowd on their feet.
Anaheim evened things up ten minutes later when Frank Vatrano deflected a shot from the blue line past Adin Hill, tying it 1-1.
The first period felt like classic Knights hockey — fast, physical, and loud.
🚨 Second Period – Ducks Push Back
Anaheim took flight in the second. Rookie sensation Leo Carlsson struck twice in the middle frame, showing why he’s on every “next big thing” list in the league. Suddenly, Vegas trailed 3-1 heading into the final period.
Still, no panic from the home team — just the steady hum of a T-Mobile crowd that’s seen comebacks before.
⚡ Third Period – Knights Never Quit
Four minutes into the third, Pavel Dorofeyev reminded everyone why he’s been red-hot on the power play. His team-leading sixth PPG of the season sliced Anaheim’s lead to one.
Then, with the energy surging again, Kaedan Korczak picked the perfect time to score his first goal of the season, knotting it up 3-3 and sending the place into chaos.
Vegas owned the momentum, pushing hard until the horn.
🥅 Overtime – Heartbreaker at Home
Three-on-three overtime was edge-of-your-seat madness. The Knights had their chances, but with 32 seconds left, Anaheim’s Jacob Trouba capitalized on a rebound and silenced the building — Ducks 4, Knights 3.
Tough loss, but if there’s one thing this team has proven: they don’t fold. They reload.
