What happened in Game 2?

Anaheim used strong defensive play and timely scoring to split the opening two games in Las Vegas.

Trevor Zegras scored the go-ahead goal in the second period, and Dostal carried the Ducks the rest of the way with several key saves against Vegas forwards Jack Eichel and Mark Stone.

Vegas’ lone goal came from Pavel Dorofeyev, but the Golden Knights struggled to generate second-chance opportunities in front of the net.

The Golden Knights are attempting to return to the Western Conference final for the second time in four seasons after winning the Stanley Cup in 2023.

Key storyline entering Game 3

The focus for Vegas will likely center on improving its power play and finding ways to generate more traffic in front of Dostal.

The Golden Knights went scoreless on multiple power-play chances in Game 2 and have seen Anaheim successfully slow down Vegas’ transition attack through the neutral zone.

Coach Bruce Cassidy said after Game 2 that Vegas needs to “get to the inside more consistently” if it wants to reclaim momentum in the series.

For Anaheim, Game 3 represents a chance to take its first series lead after entering the postseason as an underdog against the defending Pacific Division champions.
