Connelly’s Late Goal Lifts Golden Knights Past Red Wings, Keeps Road Trip Rolling

Rookie Trevor Connelly scored with 1:42 remaining in the third period to lift the Vegas Golden Knights to a 2-1 comeback victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday at Little Caesars Arena. After Detroit's Anton Johansson opened the scoring early in the final frame, Braeden Bowman tied the game before Connelly secured the regulation win. Goaltender Carter Hart stopped 25 of 26 shots to earn the victory.

Vegas head coach Ryan Craig spurred the offense with third-period line adjustments, shifting Connelly alongside Jack Eichel and Mark Stone. The Golden Knights outshot the Red Wings 34-26, while Detroit goaltender Daniil Tarasov made 32 saves. The win pushed Vegas to 11-5-2 on the season, securing five of six available points across the first three games of their road trip.
