The Vegas Golden Knights beat the Anaheim Ducks, 3-2, in overtime in Game 5 of the Second Round series on Tuesday night at T-Mobile Arena to take a 3-2 series lead.

Beckett Sennecke opened the scoring on the power play to give the Anaheim Ducks a 1-0 lead late in the first period, but Pavel Dorofeyev responded less than four minutes later with a power-play goal of his own to tie the game at 1-1. After a scoreless second period, Tomas Hertl buried a loose puck at 4:48 of the third frame to give the Vegas Golden Knights their first lead of the night. Anaheim answered late in regulation as Olen Zellweger scored with 3:05 remaining to force overtime. Just over four minutes into the extra period, Dorofeyev netted the game-winning goal after Jack Eichel kept the play alive in the offensive zone and found him near the crease, lifting Vegas to a 3-2 Game 5 victory. Carter Hart turned aside 34 of 36 shots and posted a .944 save percentage in the win.

Dorofeyev recorded his first career playoff overtime winner and increased his postseason goal total to seven, tying Brett Howden for the league lead. Hertl scored in back-to-back games, while Eichel collected two assists to raise his NHL-leading postseason assist total to 14, tied for the third most in a single playoff run in franchise history.

Tortorella demands discipline from his team heading into Game 5

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 12 May 2026 03:00:00 GMT

John Tortorella is concerned about his team spending too much time in the penalty box in this series. He wants the group to be more disciplined in Game 5. VGK was ranked second in penalties this season, but has been playing more aggressive since Torts arrival. They also can be committing penalties due to the speed of Anaheim, as they try to deny entries, etc. VGK also has to stop turning the puck over - unforced turnovers have been a problem. We will see what each team does to adjust in Game Five. Joel Quenneville made three lineup changes in Game 4. Maybe he has more up his sleeve for Game 5. We also have our Locks, Props and Chance.

Vegas Golden Knights — Sat, 09 May 2026 06:26:00 GMT

The Golden Knights took Game 3 in a commanding 6-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks in the Second Round series on Friday night at Honda Center. The Golden Knights lead the best-of-seven series 2-1.

Shea Theodore opened the scoring just 1:06 into the game to give the @GoldenKnights a 1-0 lead, finishing a cross-slot sequence set up by Mark Stone and Jack Eichel. Brayden McNabb extended the lead late in the first period with a shorthanded goal off a Mitch Marner rush entry, and Marner then made it 3-0 with five seconds remaining in the frame on the power play after a loose puck was sent back to him by Pavel Dorofeyev.

Marner continued his dominant night in the second period, scoring twice more to complete a natural hat trick and push Vegas ahead 5-0. His second goal came off a Brett Howden-to-Theodore setup, and his third came from behind the net off a William Karlsson feed. Anaheim responded in the third period with goals from Beckett Sennecke and Chris Kreider to cut the deficit to 5-2, before Brett Howden sealed the 6-2 win with an empty-net goal.

Mitch Marner finished with his first career playoff hat trick plus an assist for a four-point night, now up to 13 points (6G, 7A) in the postseason. Brayden McNabb’s shorthanded goal marked the third of the playoffs for the Golden Knights, a franchise record for a single postseason.

Mark Stone recorded his 40th career playoff assist, moving into a tie for fourth in franchise postseason history, and Theodore’s opening goal at 1:06 marked the fastest VGK goal since Round 2, Game 6 of the 2023 playoffs.

Golden Knights look for at least one win in Anaheim this weekend

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 08 May 2026 13:27:32 GMT

The Golden Knights will aim to win at least one game this weekend in Anaheim against a team that has dominated the series in a variety of ways. Although the series is tied at 1-1, the Ducks feel they have momentum heading back home. VGK wants to take back home ice advantage this weekend. We have our adjustments and lineup changes could be in order, especially to sit an ineffective Keegan Kolesar. The Golden Knights are going to have to use whatever depth they have to try to slow down the Ducks, who are the speedier team. We also haven't seen much hitting in this series yet. And, it's WTF Day with fan comments.

Strong PK can't hide Anaheim speed as Tortorella waits to adjust

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 07 May 2026 13:32:29 GMT

VGK started Game 2 by shutting down the potent Ducks power play. In the first period, the Golden Knights committed four straight penalties, including a Jack Eichel double-minor. VGK killed off 1:38 of a Ducks 5 on 3 during that span. But having to kill off that many penalties early on, might have taken VGK out of sync. At one point the Golden Knights were outshot by the speedier Ducks 15-4. Mark Stone had the only goal for the Golden Knights as he tipped in a Jack Eichel shot with just 6-seconds remaining. We are surprised there has been no physicality in this series by either team. Mitch Marner and Brett Howden were -3 in plus/minus. John Tortorella said he wants to see his team move the puck more in the Ducks end. Will Torts be forced to make lineup changes with ineffective VGK Tomas Hertl, Kaeden Korczak and Keegan Kolesar still chewing up valuable minutes. And the two Anaheim goals were the result of the Ducks speed in transition. The Golden Knights looked slow at times.

Brett Howden opened the scoring with 4:58 remaining in the first period, finishing a play off the end boards after a setup involving Mark Stone and Mitch Marner to give Vegas a 1-0 lead.
