The Vegas Golden Knights battled but fell short, dropping a 3–2 decision to the
Florida Panthers at T-Mobile Arena. Florida completes the two-game season sweep as the Knights’ late push ran out of runway.

How It Went Down

• Panthers strike first: Florida grabbed the early edge and never trailed, with veteran winger Brad Marchand continuing his heater and factoring on the scoresheet.
• Vegas answers twice: Tomas Hertl and Ivan Barbashev found the back of the net for the Knights to keep it tight.
• Bobrovsky shuts the door: Sergei Bobrovsky handled a late Vegas surge to secure the road win.

Why It Felt Very Vegas

Down but not done: special teams pressure, forecheck heat, and a frantic final minute with the extra skater. The game had that
familiar T-Mobile chaos—chance after chance—just missing the last bounce.
