Vegas Golden Knights Edge Senators 3-2

The Ottawa Senators are mired in a four-game losing streak following a 3-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, placing them second to last in the Eastern Conference with an 8-10-1 record. Despite a strong performance from goaltender Linus Ullmark, who made 29 saves, the Senators' offense has struggled, scoring only two goals in their last three games. Jack Eichel scored the opening goal for the Golden Knights, who improved to 12-6-2 and celebrated head coach Bruce Cassidy's 400th career win. The Senators managed to close the gap with goals from Adam Gaudette and Drake Batherson, but a third-period goal by Pavel Dorofeyev secured the win for Vegas. The Senators will face the Vancouver Canucks next, who are also looking to break a slump, emphasizing the critical need for Ottawa to turn their season around. Overall, the game highlighted Ottawa's ongoing challenges, particularly their inability to score and respond when allowing the first goal.
