Golden Knights Beat Flames 3-2 in OT

Reilly Smith scored twice, including the overtime winner, to lead the Vegas Golden Knights to a 3-2 victory over the Calgary Flames, maintaining their lead over the Los Angeles Kings in the Pacific Division. Pavel Dorofeyev scored his team-leading 33rd goal for Vegas, and Akira Schmid, in his first start of the season, made 21 saves. Calgary's loss keeps them just outside the playoff picture, trailing the Minnesota Wild for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference. The overtime goal came after Smith maneuvered behind the net, with his shot deflecting off a skate before finding the back of the net. This victory marks the Golden Knights' 16th win against Pacific Division teams this season.
