Vegas Returns Home Following Four One Win over Ottawa
Vegas returns home following a 4-1 win over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday. Braeden Bowman opened the scoring with a power-play goal, while Raphael Lavoie tallied his first career NHL goal—which served as the game-winner—seven minutes after Ottawa tied it in the third period. William Karlsson and Jack Eichel added empty-net goals, and Adin Hill stopped 25 of 26 shots for a .962 save percentage.
Several players approach individual milestones:
- Brayden McNabb is one game away from 900 NHL games and two points away from 200 career points.
- Jeremy Lauzon needs two appearances to reach 400 NHL games.
- Shea Theodore is five games shy of 600 appearances with the Golden Knights.
- Mitch Marner is seven games and seven points away from hitting the 100-mark in both categories with Vegas.
Marner enters Friday carrying an eight-game point streak, racking up 11 points over that span. Jack Eichel leads the club overall with 20 points, followed by Mark Stone with 16 and Marner with 13.
New Jersey Arrives Following Back to Back Set
New Jersey arrives following a back-to-back set that included a 5-1 win over the Dallas Stars and a 5-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. The Devils recently acquired goaltender Connor Hellebuyck from the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for Dawson Mercer, Nick Bjugstad, Nico Daws, and Alexander Command. Jack Hughes leads the Devils with 14 points.
The two teams split their two-game series during the 2025-26 campaign, with Vegas securing a 3-0 shutout on December 5, 2025, before New Jersey claimed a 2-1 shootout win later that month at T-Mobile Arena.
Friday’s broadcast will air locally on Scripps Sports via The Spot-Vegas 34, with streaming on KnightTime+ and radio coverage on X 107.9 and 105.7 Maxima.
