"The Golden Knights' power play would then show its dominance, scoring twice, thanks to Dorofeyev, who scored all three of his goals during the second period. The first line would then flex its chemistry with Ivan Barbashev and newcomer Mitch Marner, with Eichel scoring his first of the season, making it 4-3. Later, it was the same trio, with Barbashev scoring to make it 5-3."
"Despite the power play finding its groove in Game 1, Trevor Moore would score shorthanded along with Brandt Clarke, who drove to the net and snuck one past netminder Adin Hill. Overtime brought more of the same back-and-forth action, with both teams trading chances before the Kings ultimately won in the shootout. Despite strong performances across the lineup, the Golden Knights couldn't hold onto their leads and left opening night with just a point, falling to 0-0-1."
Los Angeles opened fast with two first-period goals from Andrei Kuzmenko and Quinton Byfield. Pavel Dorofeyev scored a second-period hat trick, with all three goals coming during that frame, and the Golden Knights' power play tallied twice. Jack Eichel posted a four-point night as the Barbashev–Eichel–Marner line combined for multiple goals, including Barbashev's go-ahead tally. Trevor Moore and Brandt Clarke each produced shorthanded goals to answer, and overtime remained back-and-forth before the Kings prevailed in the shootout. The Golden Knights finished opening night 0-0-1 and will visit San Jose on Thursday.
