The Vegas Golden Knights’ losing skid continues https://www.knightsstoreonline.com/Stefan_Matteau_Jersey-33.After losing both games of a home-and-home against the Los Angeles Kings, the Golden Knights returned to action Friday night against the lowly Ottawa Senators, only to lose 5-4 in regulation.Despite the Golden Knights scoring in the game opening minute, the Senators outshot Vegas 38-29 and scored three unanswered goals in the second period. Vegas threatened Ottawa with a late surge led by William Karlsson and Ryan Carpenter, but Erik Karlsson Senators kept their foot on the gas and walked out of T-Mobile Arena with two points.Just 58 seconds into the contest, Reilly Smith beat Craig Anderson with a nifty backhand from point-blank range. Jonathan Marchessault did a fantastic job drawing attention away from Smith before setting him up for the tally. It didn take long for Ottawa to respond, though. Just over a minute later, Mark Stone scored his 20th goal of the year off a Vegas giveaway in the defensive zone, which has been a common issue for the Golden Knights as of late. After failing to register a shot on goal for much of the time remaining in the first period, Colin Miller beat Anderson with a wrister from above the far faceoff circle to give Vegas the 2-1 lead going into the first intermission.And guess who drew the penalty that made this power play possible? That right! Ryan Reaves! Progress! The second period wouldn be nearly as kind to Vegas as the first was Nicolas Hague Jersey, however. Despite firing 18 shots on goal in the middle third, the Golden Knights were outscored 3-0, and it all started with a breakaway goal by Bobby Ryan, set up by a gorgeous stretch pass from Stone. Just past the game midway point, the Senators took the 3-2 lead following a Matt Duchene snipe on the power play. This was Ottawa third attempt on the power play through less than 30 minutes of action. Not long after Duchene tally, Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored his ninth goal of the season, giving the Senators a two-goal lead going into the second intermission. Down two goals, the Golden Knights came out firing on all cylinders to start the third period. Just 335 into the final third, Karlsson scored his 35th goal of the season to bring Vegas within one. Just a few minutes later, Carpenter scored a shorthanded goal to tie the game up at four apiece with 1205 left to play. It looked like Vegas was on the cusp of taking this game over James Neal Jersey, but a lucky bounce gave the Senators the lead when Alex Burrows deflected a Karlsson point shot past Marc-Andre Fleury to give Ottawa the late lead. The Golden Knights came close to tying the game up again in the dying minutes, but Anderson stopped everything shot in his direction.With this loss, Vegas has lost three straight games for just the second time all season.While the Golden Knights did manage to get pucks into the net Friday night , their lack of discipline and careless turnovers ended up costing them yet again.The Golden Knights now embark on a five-game east coast road trip. They get back to work Monday against the New Jersey Devils and return home March 14 to take on that same Devils team in the T-Mobile Arena.

PITTSBURGH When the Chicago Blackhawks and Pittsburgh Penguins last met, it was a laugher. For Chicago, anyway. The Blackhawks figure the Penguins will have that 10-1 loss at Chicago on their minds when the teams play Saturday night at PPG Paints Arena.Article continues below ... Weve been on the wrong side of losses like that, and we certainly remember them more than other losses, Chicago winger Patrick Sharp said Friday. That game was Oct. 5, the home opener for Chicago and the second game in as many nights for Pittsburgh , which the night before celebrated its Stanley Cup victory before an overtime loss to St. Louis. Im sure they remember that game. Im sure theyre going to be ready to play, Blackhawks winger Ryan Hartman said Tom Kuhnhackl Jersey. Theyre a different team. They were coming off a back-to-back, the ring ceremony and all that kind of stuff, the banner. We expect a different team. We expect a team that coming out hard, and it will be a good game. The Penguins, who have won two games in a row and are 3-1-1 in their past five, have allowed 73 goals, second-most in the NHL before Friday games, and own a minus-15 in goal differential, which was fifth-worst. Those numbers dont present an accurate picture, coach Mike Sullivan said, pointing to the loss at Chicago, a 7-1 setback Oct. 21 at Tampa Bay and a 7-1 loss Oct. 29 at Winnipeg. Weve had a few blowouts in back-to-back situations, and I think it has skewed the numbers, Sullivan said. If youre not watching our team closer, it easy to look at those numbers and to surmise certain things about our team. If you did, youd be mistaken. If we were to take a couple of games out of the overall body of work, the numbers tell a different story https://www.penguinsfansteamstore.com/Custom_Jersey-34. Since the loss to the Jets, Pittsburgh has allowed 23 goals over eight games, an average of 2.9 per contest. Offensively, the Penguins are getting strong play from their third line of Conor Sheary, Riley Sheahan and Patric Hornqvist. They combined for five goals, nine points in the past two games. When you look at guys like and Conor Sheary, they can get in on the forecheck, they can force turnovers when they get pucks deep, Sullivan said. Weve really liked that line for a number of games. The Blackhawks, meanwhile, did not follow up on that 10-spot with robust offense. In its next 15 games, Chicago scored 34 goals. That picked up some over the past week, with 15 goals scored while going 1-1-1. I would say we have a better net presence and willingness to hang around there longer Carter Rowney Jersey, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. The shots are getting through and theyre more dangerous because there is a net presence. Quenneville said he expects Duncan Keith to play Saturday. The veteran defenseman missed the past couple days of practice because of illness. Pittsburgh, which did not practice Friday, could get defenseman Matt Hunwick back from a concussion. Both clubs will have the added aspect of the memory of last month meeting. Im sure theyre going to be excited about playing us and making things better, Quenneville said of the Penguins. Theyre playing well. Theyre winning some games. Our own self, were looking for more consistency in our game with the puck. Were generating some offense. I still think it got some ways to improve.
