LAS VEGAS -- The Vegas Golden Knights extended their win streak to four games and have won eight of their last nine with a 3-1 victory against the Anaheim Ducks at T-Mobile Arena.
Tomas Hertl and Keegan Kolesar had a goal and an assist each. Tanner Pearson notched a goal, while Adin Hill made 31 saves for Vegas (23-8-3).
“We're playing good hockey. We're collecting points, so that's good,” Vegas forward William Karlsson said. “Now we got a three-day break, and we've got to stay on the track.”
How the Goals Were Scored
The Golden Knights took a lead in the first period at the 19:19 mark when Pearson scored with a wrist shot from the high slot.
After a scoreless second period, Mason McTavish leveled the game 1-1 at 1:13 of the third period.
Hertl broke the tie at the 9:36 mark, tapping in a backhand goal from a Jack Eichel pass from near the wall to make it 2-1.
“I like to always be in the front, so I just try to skate to the net,” Hertl said. “I was kind of alone, and Jack made a great play. You know, he's the best player. He makes plays all year round, and he finds me. I just made a move to the backhand because the goalie didn't expect it, and I just finished it. So, I'm really happy for that.”
Kolesar added an insurance goal at 15:50 of the third period, one-timing a Karlsson backdoor pass at the far post.
Up Next
The Golden Knights will have the next three days off for the Christmas Holiday break. They return to the ice on Thursday for a game against the San Jose Sharks.
The puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m.
