First Period


The opening period saw the Kings take an early advantage with one goal, setting the tone for their performance. The Golden Knights struggled to find their rhythm, unable to capitalize on any scoring opportunities despite taking several shots on goal.


Second Period


In the second period, both teams tightened their defenses significantly. The Knights managed to increase their shot count but were still unable to break through L.A.'s goaltending wall. The period ended without any additional goals from either side.


Third Period


The third period was where things heated up for Vegas as they finally found some momentum. Viliam Kmec stood out by scoring his first goal of the season for Vegas, assisted by Brandon Saad and Raphael Lavoie. However, this late surge wasn't enough as L.A.'s defense held firm and they added two more goals to secure their victory.


Throughout this matchup, Mark Stone's leadership was evident as he consistently pushed his team forward despite facing tough opposition from Anton Forsberg's stellar goaltending for Los Angeles.
