GOLDEN KNIGHTS LAST GAME RECAP
February 18 – Vegas Golden Knights 5, Tampa Bay Lightning 4
Jonathan Marchessault led the way with two goals as the Vegas Golden Knights (34-18-4) defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning (35-17-3), on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena. In the opening period, Vladislav Namestnikov got things started for the Lightning for the 1-0 lead. Seven seconds later, Brett Howden tied the game at 1-1. Steven Stamkos then regained the lead for the Lightning, 2-1, less than a minute later. Jonathan Marchessault found the back of the net and knotted the game at 2-2. Five minutes later, Shea Theodore put Vegas ahead 3-2, beating Andrei Vasilevskiy with a snap shot. With less than three minutes remaining in the opening period, Marchessault put up his second goal of the night to give the Golden Knights a 4-2 edge. In the middle frame, Corey Perry potted a goal to bring the Lightning within one. With one minute remaining in the third period, Nicolas Roy recorded the empty net goal for Vegas, extending the lead to 5-3. In the final seconds of regulation, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare scored for Tampa for a final score of 5-4.
LAST GAME BY THE NUMBERS
- Howden’s goal was the fastest Vegas goal following an opponent’s in franchise history (seven seconds)
- Marchessault’s two-tally night broke a 13-game goalless streak for the forward
- Roy’s game-winning goal was his third of the season, matching his career high
