Leading 2-1, the Golden Knights turned the puck over leading to a game-tying breakaway. After two periods the game was locked in a 2-2 tie.

Carolina took a 3-2 lead quickly into he final twenty minutes but Vegas answered back. Brett Howden tied the game with his second goal of 2025-26. Jack Eichel took over late as he snapped the tie and extended VGK’s lead to 5-3. Tomas Hertl finished the game off with an empty net score.

Analysis: Of the 10 games to open this season, the best two (by a pretty wide margin) have come against the Carolina Hurricanes. It started slowly, again, but it didn’t take too long for VGK to get going in this one. After the first TV timeout they found their skating legs and started to dominate possession of the puck. Carolina wouldn’t go away and there was a massive post that saved the Golden Knights in the 3rd, but the better team won this one. (Analysis by Ken)

Schedule doesn’t get easier from here coming home

Ken’s Three VGK Stars
*** Brett Howden
** Pavel Dorofeyev
* Jack Eichel

Absolutely brilliant stuff from Ivan Barbashev and Eichel finishes off the chance and probably the game.

2 games, 2 times VGK have outplayed one of the best teams in the league.

Incredible finish by Howden in tight. Perfect pass by Reinhardt to make it happen too. 3-3
