The Vegas Golden Knights fell to the Colorado Avalanche, 4-2, in the team's final preseason road game on Tuesday night at Ball Arena.
HOW IT WENT DOWN
Jack Drury opened the scoring halfway through the first period to give the Avalanche a 1-0 lead. Less than a minute into the middle frame, Tanner Laczynski evened the score by burying a rebound in the slot. Joe Fleming deked out Sam Malinski for his first goal of the preseason to give Vegas a 2-1 lead with eight minutes left in the second period. Goals by Jason Polin and Ross Colton early in the third period put Colorado back in front with a 3-2 lead. An empty-net goal from Joel Kiviranta sealed the 4-2 win for the Avalanche.
