The forward was expected to be a healthy scratch, but goalie Carter Hart<\/a>\u00a0sustained an undisclosed injury at the morning skate. The Golden Knights recalled goalie Cameron Whitehead<\/a> from Henderson of the American Hockey League to back up Adin Hill<\/a>, and forward Jonas Rondbjerg<\/a>\u00a0was assigned to Henderson.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t thinking of playing tonight,\u201d Lavoie said. \u201cI wasn\u2019t in the lineup, and then suddenly, just before I left the rink, they told me I was playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Braeden Bowman<\/a>, William Karlsson<\/a> and Jack Eichel<\/a>\u00a0scored for the Golden Knights (9-4-1), who had lost three in a row (0-2-1). Hill made 25 saves starting in place of Hart.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Hilly\u2019 was real good,\u201d Golden Knights coach Ryan Craig said. \u201cHe looked solid back there. He looked like he was prepared and ready to play and good on him. As for \u2018Lavy\u2019 he takes advantage of an opportunity. Sometimes that\u2019s what happens, right? You don\u2019t think about it. You just go out and play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shane Pinto<\/a> scored for the Senators (8-5-0), who were coming off a 7-4 victory against the New York Rangers on Saturday. Jonas Johansson<\/a>\u00a0made 25 saves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had our chances, just didn\u2019t convert,\u201d Pinto said. \u201cThat what happens. You\u2019ve got to just trust the process and hope that it goes in next time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bowman put the Golden Knights ahead 1-0 at 19:49 of the second period on the power play. He scored after Ivan Barbashev<\/a>\u2019s shot fell short of the goal line where Bowman was parked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The forward was expected to be a healthy scratch, but goalie Carter Hart\u00a0sustained an undisclosed injury at the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":943883,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-943882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/943882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=943882"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/943882\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/943883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=943882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=943882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=943882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
