Travis Green's Ottawa Senators faced their fourth consecutive loss, falling 3-2 to the Vegas Golden Knights despite a strong effort. The Senators struggled to recover after allowing the first goal, a recurring issue from previous seasons. Green emphasized the need for his team to learn to play from behind without panicking.
Vegas goalie Ilya Samsonov made 38 saves, helping secure the win, while Ottawa's Adam Gaudette and Drake Batherson scored, but it wasn't enough. Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy celebrated his 400th NHL win.
