also scored for the Golden Knights, who have won four of their
past six games (4-1-1). Vegas goaltender Logan Thompson stopped
27 of 29 shots.
Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen each had a goal and an

when he scored with 39.6 seconds remaining. John Gibson made 29
saves for the Ducks, who lost their second straight game and
