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!

The Golden Knights were trying to win their third game in a row with a victory over the Dallas Stars. It looked like the Stars had opened the scoring early in the contest, but it was ruled that goaltender Adin Hill had frozen the puck before reaching the net. After the goal was called back Vegas stole the momentum and drew several penalties, setting them up with multiple power play opportunities. Tomas Hertl continued his dominance on the man-advantage and scored the game’s first goal. After the opening 20 minutes, the home team held a 1-0 edge.

Dallas tied the game early on in the middle frame. Towards the end of the period Vegas was awarded a power play opportunity which Jack Eichel snapped the 1-1 tie. 68 seconds later Nic Roy extended Vegas’ lead to 3-1 before the break.

The Stars outshot the Golden Knights in the final period, but Hill was strong in net allowing just one 6-on-5 goal. After 60 minutes the Golden Knights won 3-2 and are one point back in the President’s Trophy chase.

The Golden Knights record improves to 18-7-3 defeating the Stars 3-2 at T-Mobile Arena.

The Golden Knights returned from their five-game road trip to host the NHL’s best Winnipeg Jets for an early evening matchup. The Jets took the first lead of the game seven minutes into the game. After failing to convert twice on power play opportunities Vegas began to cook with two minutes left in the frame. First Brett Howden scored on an unassisted breakaway and Ivan Barbashev gave Vegas the 2-1 lead before the break.

Deep into the middle period, Winnipeg evened the score and after 40 minutes of action, the game was locked in a 2-2 tie.

Jack Eichel found Barbashev for the second time of the night. Barbashev’s 12th goal of the season gave his club a 3-2 edge. Four minutes later Winnipeg found the back of the net, tying the game at three a piece. After the Jets tied the game, Howden tallied his second goal of the game nudging VGK to a 4-3 victory.

The Golden Knights record improves to 15-6-3 defeating the Jets 4-3 at home.

At Adam Kutner Cares, we believe in celebrating extraordinary individuals who demonstrate resilience and strength in the face of life’s challenges. Today we had the honor of recognizing 9-year-old Gizelle “Gigi” Flores as our Adam Kutner Community Champion, and we couldn’t be more inspired by her journey.

Diagnosed with a germ cell tumor in 2023, Gigi faced her diagnosis with bravery and determination. Despite relapsing in April 2024, her fighting spirit remains unwavering, and her positivity lights up every room she enters. To honor her courage and perseverance, we wanted to create a moment she and her family would never forget.

In collaboration with Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation, we surprised Gigi with a heartwarming announcement surrounded by her mom, dad, and sibling. Gigi learned that she will be attending the Vegas Golden Knights game on November 30th. As part of her special day, Gigi will ride the Adam Kutner logo-wrapped Zamboni during the game!

This memorable experience is a small way to celebrate Gigi’s resilience and bring her and her family joy during this challenging journey.

At Adam Kutner Cares, we’re committed to making a difference in our community by supporting organizations like Candlelighters and recognizing individuals who inspire us all. Gigi’s story is a powerful reminder of the strength and hope that exists within our community.

We look forward to cheering on Gigi as she enjoys her night with the Vegas Golden Knights, and we encourage everyone to send her words of encouragement and support as she takes the ice—Zamboni style!
