Golden Knights Beat Ducks 4-1, Prepare for 4 Nations

The Vegas Golden Knights secured a 4-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks, marking their third consecutive win against the team this season. Shea Theodore, a former Duck, scored twice, while William Karlsson and Alexander Holtz added to the tally, supported by assists from Victor Olofsson, Jack Eichel, and Tomas Hertl. Goalie Ilya Samsonov made 19 saves, maintaining the Pacific Division-leading Knights' strong form with a 6-1-1 run. Anaheim's Jackson LaCombe netted the Ducks' lone goal, but the team continues to struggle, having lost three of their last five games. The game was notable for William Karlsson's selection to Sweden's Four Nations team and Shea Theodore's inclusion in Canada's squad. Additionally, the Knights are managing a busy schedule with frequent back-to-back games due to the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off tournament, which will pause the regular NHL season for a week in February.
