Connelly’s late go-ahead goal lifts Golden Knights to 2-1 win over Red Wings

Trevor Connelly scored the game-winning goal with 1:42 remaining in regulation to lift the Vegas Golden Knights to a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday night at Little Caesars Arena. Goaltender Carter Hart turned in a stellar performance for Vegas, stopping 25 of 26 shots to earn a .962 save percentage as the Golden Knights improved their record to 11-5-2 on the season.

Following two scoreless periods, Detroit opened the scoring 2:02 into the third frame via Anton Johansson. Vegas answered just over two minutes later with a wrist shot from Braeden Bowman to level the contest. Victor Olofsson also returned from an early-October injury to provide an assist, while Daniil Tarasov guarded the net for the Red Wings.
