Whitecloud pinched in from the left side of the
net to knock in a rebound of a William Carrier shot to score the
winner, his second goal of the season. Vegas improved to 8-1-1,
its best 10-game start in franchise history. The Golden Knights
are 7-0-1 at T-Mobile Arena, the second-best home record in the
NHL behind the Tampa Bay Lightning's 6-0-0 mark.
Chandler Stephenson had a goal and an assist, Jonathan
Marchessault, Alex Tuch and Nicolas Roy each scored a goal and
Cody Glass added two assists for Vegas. Marc-Andre Fleury
finished with 19 saves to improve to 5-0-0 this season and
17-4-0 all-time against Anaheim.
Troy Terry posted a goal and an assist and Isac Lundestrom, Adam
Henrique and Ryan Getzlaf also scored for Anaheim, which fell to
0-2-1 against the Golden Knights this season. Ryan Miller,
making back-to-back starts for the first time this season,
logged 26 saves for the Ducks, and Kevin Shattenkirk added two
assists.
Roy gave the Golden Knights a 4-1 lead near the end of the
second period with his first goal of the season. He took a drop
pass from Glass at the top of the right circle and then fired a
wrist shot past Miller's blocker side.
However, Anaheim rallied to tie it 4-4 with goals on three
consecutive shots over span of 4:57 in the third period. Terry
got the first on a rebound of a Shattenkirk shot. Henrique
followed when he dribbled a wrist shot under Fleury's pads.
Getzlaf then tied it with his first goal of the season, tapping
in a Rickard Rakell pass on the backdoor.
That set the stage for Whitecloud's game-winner. Vegas had
allowed just five third-period goals all season before Anaheim's
comeback.
