The Golden Knights\u2019 late comeback bid came up short in a 4-3 loss to the Ducks in Game 4 at Honda Center on Sunday night. Beckett Sennecke opened the scoring for the Ducks on the man-advantage, then Pavel Dorofeyev<\/a> tied the game for Vegas less than two minutes later with a power-play tally of his own. Mikael Granlund took back the lead with less than five minutes left in the opening frame to make it 2-1 in favor of the Ducks going into the second. The Golden Knights drew even once again early in the second period with a goal from Brett Howden, but Alex Killorn and Ian Moore notched a goal each to put the Ducks up two early in the final period.\u00a0Tomas Hertl<\/a> buried a fortunate bounce off Jackson LaCombe’s skate with an extra attacker to bring Vegas within a goal late in the third, but they couldn\u2019t manufacture the equalizer, falling 4-3 in Game 4.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Forecheck and Sustain: The Golden Knights are most dangerous when they establish a relentless forecheck and keep their opponent pinned in their own zone. After a Game 4 where neither team effectively dictated tempo, Vegas needs to reassert that identity at home, winning board battles, forcing turnovers, and converting sustained O-zone pressure into an insurmountable deficit for the Ducks.<\/p>\n
