In an intense matchup at T-Mobile Park, the Vegas Golden Knights were unable to break through the Seattle Kraken's formidable defense. Despite launching a total of 35 shots towards their opponent's net, none found their way past the Kraken goaltender who recorded a perfect save percentage for the night. The Golden Knights' offense was met with an equally robust defensive effort from Seattle, which blocked 20 shots and delivered more hits than Vegas throughout the game.

The Golden Knights dominated faceoffs with a winning percentage of 52 percent but struggled to capitalize on this advantage in terms of scoring opportunities. Their lone powerplay yielded one shot that failed to convert into points on the board. On top of that, they were shorthanded once during which they managed to keep their net untouched despite not having any shots themselves.

Vegas' goaltender faced 27 shots and made 24 saves but allowed three goals against him during even strength play. This performance contributed to his team's inability to notch up any points for this encounter.

On the other side of the ice, Seattle capitalized on their chances by scoring once in each period while maintaining discipline with only one penalty throughout all three periods. They scored three goals from just eleven percent shooting accuracy and kept possession balanced as reflected by nearly equal faceoff wins compared to losses.
