ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Mason McTavish scored the go-ahead goal with 3:40 to play, Sam Carrick had two late goals, and the Anaheim Ducks beat Vegas 4-2 Sunday night, handing the Vegas Golden Knights their first regulation loss of the National Hockey League season.
Adam Henrique scored early in the third for the Ducks, who rallied from two goals down in the final period to get their sixth straight win for the first time in nearly two years. John Gibson made 29 saves for Anaheim, which scored four goals on five shots in the third.
They beat the defending Stanley Cup champion Golden Knights, who had earned a point in 12 straight games to start this season, the longest streak by a defending champ in NHL history.
Vegas also had earned a point in 20 straight regular-season games since last March, the second-longest such streak in the last 40 years.
Ivan Barbashev and Jack Eichel scored for the Golden Knights, who took a 2-0 lead into the third period before fading late on the second night of a back-to-back set. Logan Thompson stopped 18 shots.
