Recap: The Golden Knights were trying to extend their series lead to 3-1 with a victory over the Anaheim Ducks in Game 4. The Ducks olenwd the scoring with their first power play goal of the series. However, Pavel Dorofeyev scored a power play goal of his own to tie the game 1-1 midway through the period. With under five minutes remaining the Ducks scored to take a 2-1 lead into the first intermission.

Early into the middle frame Vegas’ leading goal scorer Brett Howden evened the score with his seventh goal of the postseason. Anaheim regained their lead with a late period power play goal.

The Golden Knights began the final 20 minutes on the power play but couldn’t score. A minute later the Ducks took a crushing 4-2 advantage. Vegas got within one with Tomas Hertl’s first goal in an eternity but couldn’t get any closer.

The Ducks even the series at 2-2 by defeating the Golden Knights 4-3 in Anaheim. Game 5 of the second round seven-game series is scheduled for Tuesday night at T-Mobile Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 6:30 PM. (Recap by Jason)

Analysis: Honestly didn’t hate that game from VGK’s perspective. They played the game with a bunch of speed and looked dangerous most of the times they were in the offensive zone. Defensively, the blocking game was back on and if it weren’t for some goofy hops and seeing-eye pucks it would have gotten the job done. Special teams was really the biggest disappointment as the PK finally broke and the power play couldn’t bail them out, especially on the two in the 3rd period. Series is tied, VGK are coming home. Road team has been better in the first four games, VGK need to change that in Game 5. (Recap by Ken)

The penalties have to stop.

They’ve committed 3 or more in 6 of the last 7 games and 4 or more in 5 of the 10 postseason games this year.

William Karlsson with an incredible play under the goal line to slide the puck to the front.

Brett Howden arrives at the perfect time as he often does and he takes the goal scoring lead in the NHL Playoffs.

The penalty kill streak has finally been broken. Hart stopped a great look from Gauthier but it came right back out to Sennecke and he laid into one. 1-0 ANA
