Las Vegas Golden Knights\u2019 Marc Gatcomb celebrates after scoring a goal against the Vancouver Canucks during second period NHL hockey action in Vancouver, Sunday.Rich Lam\/The Canadian Press<\/p>\n

Marc Gatcomb scored the go-ahead goal late on the second period and the Vegas Golden Knights downed the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Mitch Marner scored his first goal of the season and Victor Olofsson added a power-play score for the Golden Knights. Adin Hill stopped 17 of the 19 shots he faced, including a key save midway through the third when he slid well out of his crease to deny Liam Ohgren on a short-handed breakaway.<\/p>\n

Canucks winger Paul Cotter opened the scoring with a power-play goal late in the first period, extending his season-opening point streak to four games with four goals and two assists across that stretch.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Lekkerimaki also scored for Vancouver while Kevin Lankinen made 25 saves in a bounceback performance from Thursday night when he gave up eight goals on 20 shots in the Canucks\u2019 9-7 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.<\/p>\n

After putting up 17 goals over their first three games of the season, Vancouver struggled to generate offence against Vegas, with just 19 shots in the game. <\/p>\n

The Golden Knights had ample scoring opportunities with five power plays and found success with the extra man with a five-forward unit.<\/p>\n

The Golden Knights took the 2-1 lead with a power-play goal at the 14:30 mark of the second after Lankinen stopped a shot from Jack Eichel. The rebound popped out to Mark Stone at the goal line and he sent a pass to Olofsson, who fired a shot into the top of the net to make it 2-1 for Vegas.<\/p>\n

Vegas has now won eight straight games against Vancouver dating to Dec. 19, 2024.<\/p>\n
