LAS VEGAS (AP) --- Raphael Lavoie scored his first career goal, a tap-in eight
minutes into the third period to put Vegas ahead for good in its 4-1 victory
over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night, ending the Golden Knights'
three-game losing streak.
Braeden Bowman scored a power-play goal for the Golden Knights, and William
Karlsson and Jack Eichel each added an empty-netter. Nic Dowd got his 200th
career point with a secondary assist on Lavoie's goal.
Adin Hill stopped 25 shots, including a daring charge out of the net. Fellow
goalie Carter Hart did not play after sustaining an undisclosed injury at the
morning skate.
Shane Pinto scored on a power play for the Senators, who opened a five-game
trip. Jonas Johansson made 25 saves.
The Golden Knights got on the scoreboard late in the second period thanks to a
tremendous defensive play from Hill. Ottawa's Ridley Greig had a short-handed
breakaway opportunity, but Hill raced out of his net to the right circle to
poke away the puck. Vegas quickly got the puck to the other end, and Bowman
deposited a rebound off Ivan Barbashev's shot from the right circle with 11
seconds left in the period.
Ottawa answered just 34 seconds into the third when Drake Batherson made a
terrific pass to Pinto in the slot for the tying goal. That was Batherson's
eighth point in five games, and it's the sixth game in a row the Golden Knights
have allowed a power-play goal.
Lavoie, playing in his 27th game, then put Vegas back on top with his goal
after a pass from Ville Heinola.
