The Golden Knights were looking to snap their three game losing streak with a win at home vs. the St. Louis Blues. The visiting team took the opening lead but Tomas Hertl wiped away St. Louis’ lead minutes later with a power play score. With seconds remaining in the opening twenty minutes the Blues answered back with a power at goal of their own.

St. Louis took a 3-1 lead early in the middle frame but a minute later Brett Howden cut the Blues lead to one with his 16th goal of the season. However, just like the 1st period, with under a minute to go St. Louis scored to regain their two goal advantage.

Vegas had several chances to climb back in the final frame and finally broke through with a few minutes left in the contest. Jack Eichel recorded his 12th goal to get the Golden Knights within one. A shift later Pavel Dorofeyev forced overtime with his 20th goal of the season. Eventually, the Blues would outlast the Golden Knights.

The Golden Knights record drops to 29-14-4 falling to the Blues 5-4 in OT. Vegas will travel to St. Louis for the second half of a home-and-home with the Blues. Puck drop on Thursday night is scheduled for 5 PM.

The Golden Knights were trying to remain undefeated in 2025 with a victory over the visiting New York Islanders. Vegas thought they had taken a 1-0 lead seven minutes into the game off a Tomas Hertl power play goal, but it was reviewed, and Hertl was ruled offside. Ten minutes later the Islanders opened the scoring and went into the opening intermission leading 1-0.

New York had several early chances to start the middle frame and cashed in at the five-minute mark. The Islanders extended their lead to 3-0 at the midway point of the 2nd period.

The Islanders continued to frustrate the Golden Knights in the final period. Vegas pulled Adin Hill with four minutes left in the game but New York sealed the game with an empty net score.

The Golden Knights record drops to 28-10-3 falling to the Islanders 4-0. Vegas will remain home for two upcoming games this weekend. Puck drop against the New York Rangers is scheduled for Saturday at 7 PM.

This January, the Vegas Golden Knights are shining a spotlight on the everyday heroes who make our community safe, strong, and resilient with their First Responders Appreciation Theme Knights. On Saturday, January 4, the spotlight was on those who serve in law enforcement during Law Enforcement Appreciation Knight.

To do our part in showing appreciation for those who keep our community safe, we had the privilege of honoring Lt. Jason Johansson, the former Head of LVMPD’s Homicide Section.

As a token of appreciation for his bravery and leadership, it was our pleasure to award him tickets to Saturday night’s game and a ride on the Adam Kutner Zamboni, giving Lt. Johansson a well-deserved moment in the spotlight, cheered on by the T-Mobile Arena crowd.

To start the year on a positive note, we had the honor of surprising Alana Weinberg with the Adam Kutner Cares Community Champion Award, including 2 tickets to the Jan. 2 Vegas Golden Knights game, a ride on the Adam Kutner Zamboni, and a commemorative plaque recognizing her exceptional contributions to our community!

Alana’s dedication to making a difference began with her work at the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in Nevada, where she founded the Walk Against Hate. This event has united countless individuals in promoting acceptance and standing against discrimination. Her efforts have left an indelible mark on the Las Vegas community.

Now a mom of two young girls, Alana continues to inspire with courage and determination. After testing positive for a genetic predisposition to breast cancer, she faced her diagnosis with bravery. Just two weeks ago, she underwent a double mastectomy and remains a beacon of strength for those around her.

We congratulate Alana on this well-deserved honor and thank her for being a shining example of perseverance and compassion in our community!
