Recap:  The Golden Knights hosted the Vancouver Canucks in an effort to win back-to-back games. The Canucks opened the scoring midway into the period and held a 1-0 lead into the opening intermission.

Defenseman Alex Pietrangelo evened the score late in the middle frame with his third goal of 2024-25. After 40 minutes the game was locked in a 1-1 battle.

Under four minutes in the final period, the Golden Knights took their first lead of the night. William Karlsson tallied his sixth of the season leading to VGK’s 3-1 victory.

The Golden Knights record improves to 21-8-3 defeating the Canucks from T-Mobile Arena. Vegas will get back to work on Saturday against the Kraken. Puck drop against Seattle is scheduled for 7 PM. (Recap by Jason)

Analysis: One of the lower event games of the year for the Golden Knights. Both teams moved the puck well but the defensive structure on both ends was quite strong. Each goalie made an unbelievable stop but Adin Hill came up a bit bigger than Kevin Lankinen. Vegas’ commitment to defense has really ratcheted up over the last few weeks and the wins are piling up because of it. (Analysis by Ken)

The Canucks do not have a ton of dangerous chances today, but they've had a few Grade A+ ones and Adin Hill has erased all but one.

Not quite Cup Final-level robbery, but pretty darn close. Spectacular stop. pic.twitter.com/7x1MTdSoVp
