In Las Vegas, on October 25, 2024, the Golden Knights triumphed over the Ottawa Senators with a score of 6-4. Tomas Hertl and Keegan Kolesar were instrumental in the victory, scoring back-to-back goals within a minute in the closing moments of the game, taking the lead for their team. This match featured a strong performance from Ivan Barbashev, who netted two goals, complemented by contributions from Nicolas Roy, Nicolas Hague, and an empty-net goal by Barbashev that solidified the win. The Golden Knights’ offense showcased significant strength, averaging 4.37 goals per game this season. Notably, Alex Pietrangelo recorded three assists, while teammates Jack Eichel and Mark Stone each added two points, underscoring their ongoing offensive prowess. The team improved their season record to 5-2-1, maintaining an impressive perfect home record of 5-0-0. Despite a strong start for the Senators, who led the game early, they were unable to hold onto their advantage against the high-scoring Knights. Before the late-game surge by the Golden Knights, Adam Gaudette scored two goals for Ottawa, with Claude Giroux and Drake Batherson also finding the net. However, goalie Linus Ullmark faltered under pressure, allowing five goals in the match, marking a significant setback following his strong performances early in the season. The result was particularly disappointing for the Senators, who had not lost while leading after two periods up to that game. As the Senators prepare to face the Colorado Avalanche next, the Golden Knights are set to host the San Jose Sharks, aiming to extend their winning streak at home.
