Vegas Golden Knights vs Los Angeles Kings Box Score on Oct 28, 2023

Logan Thompson made 36 saves and also stopped all three shootout tries and Jack Eichel celebrated his 27th birthday by scoring the game-deciding goal in the shootout as the visiting Vegas Golden Knights rallied to defeat the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 on Saturday night.

Mark Stone, Michael Amadio and William Carrier also scored goals for Vegas, which rallied from a 2-0 deficit to extend its season-opening point streak to nine games (8-0-1).

Drew Doughty, Alex Laferriere and Trevor Lewis scored goals for Los Angeles, which had a two-game winning streak snapped and also took its fourth home loss in five games this season. Cam Talbot finished with 27 saves.

Eichel, going after Thompson made a pad save on Trevor Moore to open the shootout, fired a wrist shot past Talbot's glove side for what proved to be the game-decider. Thompson made a pad save on Pierre-Luc Dubois in the second round and sealed the win with a glove save of a Kevin Fiala try in the third round.

Los Angeles took a 1-0 lead at the 13:11 mark of the first period when Laferriere buried a rebound of a Dubois shot.

The Kings made it 2-0 early in the second period with another rebound goal, this one by Lewis, who was parked in front of the crease and backhanded a shot through Thompson's pads for his second goal of the season.

But the Golden Knights rallied to tie it at 2-2 later in the period. Amadio slapped in a rebound under Talbot's glove and inside the right post, and Carrier finished an odd-man rush with a snap shot from the left circle off the far post and in for his first goal of the season.

Stone then gave Vegas its first lead with a power-play goal at the 6:26 mark of the third period. Jonathan Marchessault set up the score with a pass from behind the net to Stone cutting down the crease. Stone then roofed a snap shot past Talbot's blocker side.

The Kings pulled Talbot for an extra attacker with 2:08 remaining and Doughty tied it at 3-3 with a one-timer from just inside the blue line through traffic with 1:03 to go.

Anze Kopitar played in his 1,300th career game for the Kings, the first player in team history to accomplish that feat.
