The Vegas Golden Knights fell to the Anaheim Ducks, 4-3, in Game 4 of the Second Round series on Sunday night at Honda Center.
HOW IT WENT DOWN
Beckett Sennecke gave the Ducks the first lead of the game with a power-play goal at 8:43 in the first period. Less than two minutes later, Pavel Dorofeyev pulled the game even, 1-1, on Vegas' own power play. Jack Eichel fired a shot from the circle that deflected off Lukas Dostal’s glove, and Dorofeyev tracked down the rebound and lifted it into the back of the net. With 4:35 remaining in the opening frame, Mikael Granlund recorded a goal to regain the lead for Anaheim, 2-1. Brett Howden tied the game once again with a goal for Vegas at 4:04 in the middle period. William Karlsson skated behind the net, threading the needle to Howden in the slot, where he tapped the puck past Dostal. With two minutes remaining in the second frame, Alex Killorn gave the Ducks a 3-2 edge with a power-play goal, and Ian Moore extended Anaheim’s lead with his first goal of the playoffs at 3:43 in the final period. Tomas Hertl cut the deficit to one with 1:04 remaining in the game. Mitch Marner’s shot on the rush was deflected, and Hertl picked up the rebound to beat Dostal short side for the score. The Golden Knights could not find the game-tying goal in the remaining minute, and the Ducks took Game 4 with a 4-3 victory to even the Second Round series at two.
