Recap:The Golden Knights took a short trip to Music City for the second game of a back-to-back. Quickly into the game, the Predators took the opening lead. Tomas Hertl answered right back to even the score. Minutes later, Jack Eichel poked in his fourth goal of the season to give VGK a 2-1 edge.

The Predators evened the score with a shorthanded goal midway through the period. Late in the frame, William Karlsson scored to give Vegas a 3-2 lead going into the second intermission.

Vegas rookie Trevor Connelly stretched the lead in the opening five minutes of the final period. Two shifts later, Brett Howden and the Golden Knights took a commanding 5-2 advantage.

The Golden Knights’ record improves to 6-2-0, defeating the Predators 5-2 in Nashville. Next up, Vegas will travel back home for a matchup with the Calgary Flames on Thursday. Puck drop against the Flames is scheduled for 7 PM. (Recap by Jason)

Analysis: Not exactly the easiest spot for the Golden Knights on the second of a B2B with travel while the opponent is sitting waiting for them. The penalty kill came through in a big way for Vegas in this one, not only killing the penalties but setting up chances quickly afterwards. Really good game for VGK defensemen too as both McNabb and Hanifin had excellent passes leading to goals. (Analysis by Ken)

MINNESOTA WILD 4 VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 2 (5-2-0, 10 PTS)

Recap:  The Golden Knights traveled to Minnesota for their first of a back-to-back. Past the midway point of the opening period, the Wild took the first lead of the game. Minnesota added two late goals to take a 3-0 advantage into the 1st intermission.

Quickly into the 2nd period, Rasmus Andersson scored to get Vegas on the scoreboard. Andersson’s goal was the only one in the middle frame, allowing the Wild to hold on to their 3-1 lead.

Vegas had several chances in the final period, but they couldn’t break through early on. William Karlsson scored his first goal of the season midway through the final frame to cut the Wild’s lead to 3-2. Late in the game, Minnesota added a goal to win by two.

The Golden Knights’ record improves to 5-2-0, falling to the Wild 4-2 in Minnesota. Next up, Vegas will fly to Nashville for a matchup tomorrow with the Predators. Puck drop in Music City is scheduled for 5:45 PM as part of Frozen Frenzy. (Recap by Jason)

Analysis: For the third time in seven games this season the Golden Knights found themselves in a 3-0 hole early in the game. Like they have in each of the other two they battled their way back and made it a game. They were unable to make that final play in this game in large part because the power play went ice cold against one of the best PK’s in the league. Hopefully they didn’t sap too much of the energy tonight with a back-to-back tomorrow against a well-rested Nashville.  (Analysis by Ken)

VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 2 LOS ANGELES KINGS 1 (5-1-0, 10 PTS)

In Game Recaps

Recap: The Golden Knights celebrated the 2017-18 Western Conference champion team while hosting Pacific Division rival LA Kings. Vegas committed multiple penalties in the opening frame but killed them all off, including a 5-on-3 disadvantage. After 20 minutes, the Golden Knights and Kings were locked in a scoreless tie.

Quickly into the middle period, Mark Stone found Trevor Connely for the opening score of the game on the power play. Minutes later, the Kings tied the contest with a PP goal of their own. The period was full of matching penalties and scrums, keeping the game 1-1 going into the intermission.

Both teams traded chances but neither successfully found the back of the net. For the second straight game, Vegas needed overtime to decide the winner. VGK picked up a power play halfway through OT, which they swiftly took advantage of. Mitch Marner ended the game with his second goal of the season.

The Golden Knights’ record improves to 5-1-0, defeating the Kings 2-1 in OT. Next up, Vegas will travel to the State of Hockey for a battle against the Minnesota Wild on Monday. Puck drop against the Wild is scheduled for 5 PM. (Recap by Jason)

Analysis: A weird game in which it wasn’t a great defensive effort by either team and it didn’t take an overly heroic day by either goaltender, but it ended at 1-1 after 60. The balance of the game tilted in VGK’s favor a bit more than LA’s, so the right team probably came out on top but it wasn’t exactly the high-flying October-style hockey game we’ve been seeing recently.

VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 4 TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS 3 (4-1-0, 8 PTS) – SO (2-1)

Recap: The Golden Knights returned to Las Vegas for a two-game homestand beginning against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Toronto opened the scoring 34 seconds into the opening 20 minutes and added a second goal moments later. The Maple Leafs took a 3-0 lead before the midway mark of the period. Late in the frame, Mark Stone got Vegas on the board with his third goal of the season.

Quickly into the 2nd period, Brett Howden scored his first of the season to get Vegas within one. A few shifts later, Jack Eichel evened up the score on a successful penalty shot opportunity.

Both teams fought in the final frame, but neither could find the back of the net. After 60 minutes, the game needed overtime and a shootout to decide a winner. Braeden Bowman and Trevor Connelly scored shootout goals while Adin Hill stopped Auston Matthews, William Nylander, Gavin McKenna, and Jonh Tavares.

The Golden Knights record improves to 4-1-0 defeating the Maple Leafs 4-3 in SO. Next up, Vegas will welcome the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night. Puck drop against the Kings is scheduled for 7 PM. (Recap by Jason)

Analysis: Another slow start followed by a massive turnaround. I’d say they need to figure out how to fix this problem but honestly I’m not sure they need to anymore. They rode it all the way to the Cup Final last year and they actually seem even more comfortable doing it this year. Also, Ryan Craig going to the bag of tricks with Bowman and Connelly in shootout.

VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 6 SEATTLE KRAKEN 2 (3-1-0, 6 PTS)

Recap: The Golden Knights traveled to Seattle to wrap up their two-game road trip. Vegas got to work midway through the game when Victor Olofsson scored his 3rd goal of the short season. Minutes later, Tomas Hertl recorded his 2nd on the power play. After the opening 20 minutes the Golden Knights held a 2-0 advantage.

Quickly into the middle frame, captain Mark Stone scored a shorthanded goal to give Vegas a commanding 3-0 lead. Olofsson potted his second of the night on a quick release shot, which also went down as Trevor Connelly’s first career NHL assist. Then, Jack Eichel pickpocked a Kraken player, went in on a breakaway, and scored to give VGK a 5-0 lead at the end of two.

The game got chippy in the 3rd period as Ben Myers got kicked out of the game for a nasty boarding penalty on Victor Olofsson. Olofsson had to leave with an injury. Then Mark Stone stepped up to fight Brandon Montour. VGK scored on the ensuing major penalty giving Tomas Hertl a four-point night.

The Golden Knights record improves to 3-1-0 defeating the Kraken 6-2 in Seattle. Next up, Vegas will travel back home to host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 PM. (Recap by Jason)

Analysis: The Golden Knights were extremely opportunistic, capitalizing on their chances in this game. Albeit, they had almost every dangerous chance in the game. It was a complete fanny whacking from the moment the puck dropped until the end. Even with taking penalties instantly at the start of the 1st and 2nd, VGK never looked even close to in danger for a second in this contest. (Analysis by Ken)

VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 3 VANCOUVER CANUCKS 2 (2-1-0, 4 PTS)

Recap: The Golden Knights traveled to Vancouver for their first road game of the season. Late in the opening 20 minutes, the Canucks scored on the power play to take a 1-0 edge into the intermission.

Vegas’ Mitch Marner evened the score with his first goal of 2026-27. Minutes later, Vegas’ Victor Olofsson gave Vegas a 2-1 advantage on the power play. The Canucks scored to keep pace, but Marc Gatcomb scored before the break to make it a 3-2 Golden Knights lead.

Vancouver fought back, but Vegas was able to close out the game and pick up their second win of the season.

The Golden Knights’ record improves to 2-1-0, defeating the Canucks 3-2 in Vancouver. Next up, Vegas will take a short trip to Seattle for a matchup with the Kraken. Puck drop is scheduled for 6:40 PM. (Recap by Jason)

Analysis: The Golden Knights didn’t exactly run the Canucks off the ice on the scoreboard but for a good portion of the early part of the game, they controlled the possession and territory handily. Eventually, the dam broke in the middle frame and they were able to kind of take control of the game. Vancouver looks a little better than they have the last few years, but they are still a mile away from being a competitive team, so VGK needed to beat them, and they did. (Analysis by Ken)

ANAHEIM DUCKS 4 VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 3 (1-1-0, 2 PTS)

On October 2, 2026

In Game Recaps

Recap:  The Golden Knights were looking to start the season 2-0-0 with a victory over the visiting Anaheim Ducks. Both teams traded penalties in the opening 20 minutes but failed to take the opening lead. With eight seconds remaining in the period, the visiting team took a 1-0 edge into the intermission.

Anaheim’s offense continued to pressure Vegas’ zone and promptly scored two goals in the first 2:28 of the middle frame. The Ducks scored another goal moments later to hold a commanding 4-0 advantage through 40 minutes of action.

Vegas took it up a notch in the final 20 minutes. First defenseman Shea Theodore scored his first goal of the season to get the Golden Knights on the scoreboard. 90 seconds later, Tomas Hertl gave Vegas life, making it a 4-2 Anaheim lead. With under three minutes to go in the contest, Braeden Bowman cut Anaheim’s lead to one. However, Vegas couldn’t find the tying goal.

The Golden Knights record drops to 1-1-0, falling to the Ducks 4-3 at T-Mobile Arena. Next up, Vegas will travel to Vancouver for a Sunday evening matchup against the Canucks. Puck drop is scheduled for 6 PM. (Recap by Jason)

Analysis: The game was fairly even for the 1st period if not leaning a bit towards the Golden Knights. That changed in a hurry with a magical pass from Leo Carlsson to end the 1st and then a barrage to start the 2nd. VGK abandoned their simple chip-and-chase style and it bit them in the butt until the Ducks started backing off and trying to limit breaks. The Golden Knights looked so much better from that point on but four goals was too deep a hole. (Analysis by Ken)
