In Game Recaps

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)

Recap: The Golden Knights were trying for their fourth straight win up in Vancouver. Vegas outshot the home team 10 to 2 in the opening period but neither could find the back of the net.

Vegas continued to fire shots on net in the middle frame and limited Vancouver again. On their fifth shot of the game the Canucks struck first. Golden Knights defenseman Brayden McNabb answered back minutes later to take a 1-1 tie into the second intermission.

Cole Smith snapped the tie deep into the final frame with his eighth goal of the season.

The Golden Knights record improves to 36-26-16 defeating the Canucks 2-1 in Vancouver. Next, Vegas will travel down to Seattle for a matchup with the Kraken on Thursday. Puck drop in Seattle is scheduled for 7 PM. (Recap by Jason)

Analysis: Well, it wasn’t the prettiest game but VGK controlled most of the play against the worst team in the NHL and eventually the dam broke VGK’s way. The Golden Knights outshot the Canucks by a wide margin but the dangerous chances weren’t exactly as skewed as the numbers indicate. Either way, it’s 4-0 for Tortorella as the rollercoaster season continues.  (Analysis by Ken)

After A Firing, A Hiring And A Three Game Win Streak VGK Has Third Best Chance To Win Cup

As of today, the Golden Knights have the third-best chance to win the 2026 Stanley Cup. Since March 29th, MoneyPuck’s playoff odds have elevated Vegas four spots to 9% after swapping coaches and going undefeated in three straight games. Playoff odds models won’t use a coaching change in their calculations but coincidentally, Vegas had a 5.5% chance of winning the championship the day Bruce Cassidy was relieved from his duties. A positive goal differential and three victories later, the Golden Knights have boosted their chances by almost four points.

With a victory tonight, the Golden Knights have the ability to guarantee themselves a .500 or better record under new boss John Tortorella. Since his arrival, the Golden Knights are 3-0-0, defeated a Stanley Cup contender on the road, and have a +9 goal differential in nine periods. Also, each game ended in regulation, which has been a bit of a rarity this season. It’s been nothing but success in the extremely short sample size. The Golden Knights are a sizable favorite tonight (-278) and should be one again when they face Seattle on Thursday. As long as they continue moving their feet and building back their confidence.

I think we’re buying into the mindset of just playing fast hockey, checking, moving our feet and playing teams really tight and aggressively and getting up in people’s faces. We’re kind of building our confidence back and our swag in that department, so it’s been good. – Colton Sissons

Successful First Step, Much Steeper Climb Ahead For Tortorella’s Golden Knights

It wasn’t exactly the stark contrast the Golden Knights were hoping for in John Tortorella’s first game behind the bench in Vegas, but ultimately, they got the necessary result, and at this time of year, that’s what matters most.

We looked nervous in the 1st period, and we were slow. 2nd period was night and day. -John Tortorella

For the 44th time in 75 games, the Golden Knights conceded first, and it sucked the life out of the building. This time, though, it did not compound. They were able to get to the period break down just one goal. Then, like this year’s VGK have done many times in the past, they got up off the mat and got back to work.

It was the defensemen leading the charge offensively in the middle frame that decided the game. First, Rasmus Andersson activated off the weak side to arrive as an option for Tomas Hertl in the slot. Next, Shea Theodore jumped up into the rush, converting on a one-on-none breakaway created by Ivan Barbashev. Finally, Brayden McNabb sent a diagonal pass to the back door for an unguarded Reilly Smith to tap in.

We talked about trying to play up ice, trying to check forward, trying to get up the ice, and just not playing safe. We’ll look at some tape and continue to teach… an aggressive mindset of playing north and playing simple. -Tortorella

Tortorella continued to insist that there weren’t many, if any, true changes to the way the Golden Knights played. The points of emphasis were more reminders of concepts they’ve heard in the past rather than anything completely new.

And that’s where the opponent comes in.

In Game Recaps

Recap: In John Tortorella’s debut as the Golden Knights head coach, VGK were looking to end a three game losing streak by defeating the worst team in the NHL.

Despite earning the first power play of the game, the Canucks scored the first goal of the game as Evander Kane finished a 2-on-1 in his 1,000th NHL game.

The Golden Knights tied it up not once but twice with goals from defensemen Rasmus Andersson and Shea Theodore. Then, a nifty cross-ice pass from Brayden McNabb to Reilly Smith gave the Golden Knights their first lead of the night.

VGK held off the Canucks in the 3rd and Cole Smith potted the empty net goal, his first in Vegas.

The Golden Knights record moves to 33-26-16, beating the Canucks 4-2. Next, Vegas will host the Calgary Flames on Thursday. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 PM. (Recap by Ken)

Analysis:  VGK were looking to show out in a big way for their new bench boss with a matchup with the worst team in the league. They didn’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence that things turned around instantly but eventually took advantage of Vancouver’s shortcomings and grabbed a lead. It’s the first win in the Tortorella era, and it’s the fourth Vegas coach to win their first game. (Analysis by Ken)

Recap: The Golden Knights were looking to snap their five-game losing streak with a victory over the incoming Vancouver Canucks. Both teams traded chances in the opening period, but neither team found the back of the night.

The scoring picked up in the middle frame. Vegas’ Jack Eichel and Cole Reinhardt gave the Golden Knights a 2-0 advantage, 6:34 into the period. Vancouver cut Vegas’ lead in half, but Ivan Barbashev regained VGK’s two goal lead seconds later. The Canucks scored with nine seconds remaining in the period to keep it a one goal game.

Vegas scored two quick goals in the final frame to stretch their lead to 5-2.

The Golden Knights record improves to 26-16-14, defeating the Canucks 5-2 at T-Mobile Arena. Next up, Vegas will face Los Angeles tomorrow night at T-Mobile Arena. Puck drop against the Kings is scheduled for 7PM PT. (Recap by Jason)

Analysis: The Golden Knights had a golden opportunity to feast on the worst team in the league and that they did. It took a period before the offense started to get revved up but once it did the talent differential showed up in a big way. The losing streak is over. (Analysis by Ken)
