Golden Knights’ Wins and Sins: Depth delivers as Vegas rallies past Senators

The Vegas Golden Knights snapped their three-game losing streak by rallying past the Ottawa Senators in a 4-1 victory. After falling into a 1-1 tie, Raphael Lavoie buried his first NHL goal midway through the third period to secure the game-winner, while William Karlsson and Jack Eichel added late empty-net goals. Goaltender Adin Hill made a surprise start after Carter Hart was injured during morning skate, stopping 25 of 26 shots to earn the win.

Writer Ryan Gagne highlights that Vegas benefited from spread-out offensive depth, with 11 different players registering a point, including Braeden Bowman's power-play tally and an assist from Mitch Marner. However, Gagne notes a concerning trend of sluggish starts, pointing out that the Golden Knights generated only six shots halfway through the game before ultimately finding their rhythm in the later stages.
