The Golden Knights hosted their last regular season game to a full crowd of loyal, playoff thirsty fans. The fans were even more excited watching goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury play his first game since March 1st.
Star winger Mark Stone scored the game’s opening goal on a wicked backhand. Stone’s 33rd goal of the season made it 1-0 Vegas. Less than a minute later the desperate Coyotes evened the score 1-1.
The second frame was tight as both teams locked down defensively. Arizona’s Derek Stepan gave his team the lead on a slick move to slip it past Fleury. The Coyotes would add another goal late in the period to take the 3-1 lead after forty minutes of action.
The third was very choppy with very little action. The score remained 3-1 for most of the period until Arizona added a fourth goal with eight minutes remaining. The Golden Knights lost 4-1, finishing with a home record of (24-12-5) for the season.
The Golden Knights record drops to (43-31-7) with one game remaining. The team finishes off their regular season on Saturday in Los Angeles. Game time is scheduled for 730 PM. (Recap by Jason)

Ken’s Three VGK Stars
*** Marc-Andre Fleury
** Ryan Carpenter
* Mark Stone
It's almost like this game means everything for one team and absolutely nothing for the other. VGK look a complete mess in their own zone because the Coyotes are "scratchin and clawin."
