Pavel Dorofeyev’s overtime strike at 4:10 sent the Vegas Golden Knights to a 3‑2 win over the Anaheim Ducks, keeping a berth in the Western Conference finals a single victory away. The 29‑game goal drought that had plagued Tomas Hertl ended as he tallied his second goal of the series, while Jack Eichel added two assists for the team.

Vegas’ goaltender Carter Hart stopped 34 shots, while Ducks’ defenseman Olen Zellweger netted his first playoff goal, tying the game at 2 with 3:05 left in regulation. Beckett Sennecke extended his four‑game goal streak with a power‑play marker, and Ryan Poehling exited after a hard hit by Brayden McNabb, who received a major and a game misconduct for the Knights' momentum.

With the series tied 2‑2, the Golden Knights look to close out the second round on Thursday night in Anaheim. The win offers a chance to reach the conference final for the first time since 2023, while the Ducks aim to force a Game 7 back in Las Vegas before the playoffs wind down ahead of the final weekend.
