The Vegas Golden Knights (33-26-15) downed the Vancouver Canucks (21-44-8), 4-2, on Monday night at T-Mobile Arena.

Evander Kane opened the scoring late in the first period to give the Canucks a 1–0 lead, but the Golden Knights responded with a strong second period. Rasmus Andersson tied the game eight minutes into the middle frame, and after Brock Boeser restored Vancouver’s lead on the power play, Shea Theodore evened things again with his ninth goal of the season. Vegas carried that momentum forward as Reilly Smith scored just over a minute later to cap a three-goal second period and give the Golden Knights a 3–2 lead heading into the third.

The game’s final goal came from Cole Smith, who sealed the 4–2 win with an empty-netter — his first as a Golden Knight and seventh of the season.

In net, Adin Hill earned his 10th win of the year, stopping 22 of 24 shots for a .917 save percentage. Andersson extended his scoring streak to back-to-back games, while Smith’s goal stood as the game-winner — his third of the season and 24th of his career, moving him into fourth place in franchise history. Ivan Barbashev and Cole Smith also made an impact physically, recording seven hits each as Vegas secured its sixth straight win over Vancouver.

Dan D’Uva’s first one-on-one pregame interview with the fourth head coach in Vegas Golden Knights history, John Tortorella, ahead of the Golden Knights and Vancouver Canucks from T-Mobile Arena on March 30, 2026. This cut features answers not heard during the radio broadcast.

A Stanley Cup champion with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2004, a two-time Jack Adams Award winner, and an NHL coach for 25 years, Tortorella discusses his family, his gold-medal experience with Team USA, the whirlwind of the past few days, and what to expect with him behind the bench in Vegas.

The Vegas Golden Knights (32-26-15) overcame a second period three-goal deficit but fell, 5-4, in a shootout against the Washington Capitals (37-28-9) at T-Mobile Arena.

The Washington Capitals jumped out to a 3–0 lead through two periods, with goals from Hendrix Lapierre, Justin Sourdif, and Anthony Beauvillier.

The Vegas Golden Knights responded with a surge, getting shorthanded goals from Nic Dowd and Rasmus Andersson before Jack Eichel tied the game 3–3 late in the second period.

Mitch Marner gave Vegas its first lead early in the third, but Dylan Strome answered on the power play to even it at 4–4. After a scoreless overtime, Strome netted the lone shootout goal to lift Washington to a 5–4 win.
