Shea Theodore<\/a>, Tomas Hertl<\/a> and Braeden Bowman<\/a> scored, and Jack Eichel<\/a> had two assists for the Golden Knights.\u00a0Carter Hart<\/a> made 16 saves.<\/p>\n

Vegas opened the season with a 5-2 win against the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou give yourself credit for fighting back, but you never want to put yourself in those situations,\u201d Golden Knights captain Mark Stone said. \u201cYou\u2019re never going to see this team quit. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve had some playoff success, regular-season success, as a team. We don\u2019t quit. We continue to push. But when you get down in a hole 4-0, you\u2019re not going to come back very often.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sennecke gave the Ducks 1-0 lead at 19:52 of the first period. Shortly after a Golden Knights power play ended, Carlsson sent a lead pass to Sennecke, who got behind the defense and lifted a shot past Hart on a breakaway.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so tired,\u201d Carlsson said. \u201cI really didn\u2019t think much. So I\u2019m all alone, I tried to pass it as hard as I could in the air, and ended up being perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Killorn redirected a Noah Warren<\/a> point shot at the edge of the right face-off circle at 1:33 of the second period to push the lead to 2-0.<\/p>\n

It was the first career point for Warren, who was making his NHL debut.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was great,\u201d Ducks coach Joel Quenneville said of Warren. \u201cHe looked good in the offensive point. Getting that shot through was a nice tip by \u2018Killer,\u2019 and I thought a lot of good things as far as his reach and his killing plays.\u201d<\/p>\n

Malott extended it to 3-0 just 55 seconds later at 2:28. Tim Washe<\/a>\u00a0deflected Jackson LaCombe’s shot from the left point, and the puck then deflected off Malott’s right skate from the low slot through the five-hole.<\/p>\n

Carlsson pushed the lead to 4-0 at 7:03. Hart made the initial save on a A.J. Greer<\/a> shot, but he was then caught out of position, allowing Carlsson to put the rebound into an open net.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shea Theodore, Tomas Hertl and Braeden Bowman scored, and Jack Eichel had two assists for the Golden Knights.\u00a0Carter…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":869162,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-869161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/869161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=869161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/869161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/869162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=869161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=869161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=869161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
