Overview
- Vegas scored twice on the power play, with rookie Braeden Bowman opening the scoring and Shea Theodore netting the third-period winner.
- The two goals against were the ninth and 10th power-play markers the Rangers have surrendered across their past 10 games.
- Ben Hutton added an even-strength goal for Vegas, while New York’s Jonny Brodzinski scored at 5-on-5 and Vincent Trocheck deflected one late with the goalie pulled.
- Igor Shesterkin made 23 saves for the Rangers, but Akira Schmid backstopped a disciplined Golden Knights defense that held New York to 19 shots.
- Vegas continued its season-long shot suppression trend by not allowing 30 shots for the 19th straight game, as Mike Sullivan returned behind the Rangers’ bench in a loss that snapped their road streak.
