The Knights defeated Utah in OT and remained perfect at home

Brett Howden scored at 2:15 of overtime as the Vegas Golden Knights remained undefeated at home with a 4-3 victory over the Utah Hockey Club on Saturday night in Las Vegas.

Howden received a pass from Noah Hanifin at the bottom of the left circle, got around Alexander Kerfoot, then cut in front of the net and beat Connor Ingram with a backhand shot on the glove side for the game-winning shot.

Hanifin finished the game with a goal and two assists, Howden had a goal and an assist and William Karlsson and Pavel Dorofeyev also scored for Vegas, which tied its franchise record with its eighth straight home win (8-0-0). setting the record in its inaugural season in 2017-18.

Adin Hill made 16 saves for the Golden Knights, who broke through the top spot against the Los Angeles Kings in the Pacific Division with the win.

Logan Cooley had a goal and an assist, Nick Bjugstad had two assists and Ian Cole and Alexander Kerfoot also scored for Utah, which suffered its fifth loss in its last six games. Ingram finished the game with 31 saves.

Utah took a 1-0 lead at 11:52 of the first period after Cooley fired a one-timer from the left circle off a Bjugstad pass into the top far corner. It was Cooley's second goal and came from just one of the visitors' three shots in the first period.

Midway through the second period, Utah increased its lead to 2-0 with Cole's first goal, a wrist shot from the left circle that flew past Hill's glove and deflected off Vegas defenseman Nicolas Hague, who was hustling with Dylan Guenther at the left post.

Dorofeyev cut the lead to 2-1 when he fired a wrist shot into the wide-open right side of the net from a cross pass from Tomas Hertl, scoring his seventh and third goals in the last two games.

Hanifin made it 2-2 with just a second left when he converted a rebound from Nicolas Roy's shot into the left post for his first goal.

Karlsson then gave Vegas its first lead at 5:37 of the third period when he ended an odd-man rush with a backhand shot from the right circle that beat Ingram five holes for his second goal.

Kerfoot tied the score at 3-3 with his second goal at 13:10, reeling in a rebound from a Bjugstad shot.
