Alex Killorn Anchors Golden Knights' 6-2 Game 3 Win

alex killorn was not on the score sheet, but the Vegas Golden Knights took Game 3 anyway, beating the Anaheim Ducks 6-2 Friday night at Honda Center to move ahead 2-1 in their Second Round series. After dropping Game 2 3-1 at T-Mobile Arena, Vegas responded with a four-goal margin and seized control of the best-of-seven set.

Honda Center turns in Vegas favor

Pavel Dorofeyev opened the scoring with a power-play goal against Lukas Dostal, and Mitch Marner added two goals in the win, including another power-play finish against the Ducks goalie. Brayden McNabb supplied a short-handed goal against Dostal, and Shea Theodore also scored as Vegas built a result that erased the momentum from Wednesday night’s loss.

Tortorella, Hanifin and Karlsson

Before puck drop, Noah Hanifin, Dylan Coghlan, William Karlsson and head coach John Tortorella spoke to the media after morning skate at Honda Center. That pregame group offered the clearest sign of the lineup and mindset around the game, with the Knights needing a reply after the 3-1 defeat two nights earlier.

Series moves to 2-1

The 6-2 finish gave Vegas the edge in a series that had been tied 1-1 after Wednesday night. Stone had scored a power-play goal against Dostal in Game 2, but Friday’s scoring spread went further and left the Knights with the lead after three games, the kind of swing that changes how the rest of the matchup is played.
