The Vegas Golden Knights continued their impressive form under new head coach John Tortorella, defeating the Vancouver Canucks 2-1 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Cole Smith's goal midway through the third period secured the victory, extending the Golden Knights' winning streak to four games. The team has scored a total of 17 goals since Tortorella took over on March 31. Max Sasson opened the scoring for the Canucks with his 13th goal of the season, but Brayden McNabb quickly equalized for Vegas. Smith's decisive goal came at 12:13 into the third period. Despite a late power play opportunity for Vancouver, they were unable to score, and the Golden Knights maintained their position at the top of the Pacific Division, now tied with the Edmonton Oilers at 88 points. This win also completed a season sweep over the Canucks, having previously won their earlier matchups 5-2 and 4-2.
