Overview
- Bowman opened the scoring on a first-period power play and Shea Theodore added the eventual winner with another man-advantage strike in the third.
- Ben Hutton netted his first of the season at even strength as Vegas secured the teams’ first head-to-head win of the year at T-Mobile Arena.
- New York mustered fewer than 20 shots on goal for the first time on the road this season and absorbed just its second regulation road loss.
- Jonny Brodzinski scored at five-on-five and Vincent Trocheck tallied six-on-five late, but the Rangers generated limited quality chances.
- Igor Shesterkin started for New York opposite Akira Schmid, Mike Sullivan returned to the bench, and Vegas played without Jeremy Lauzon (IR) plus Mark Stone, William Karlsson and Adin Hill, who are week-to-week.
