Story summary

On Friday night, the Anaheim Ducks kicked off their season with a narrow victory over the Vegas Golden Knights, winning 4-3. The key player was Leo Carlsson, who scored one goal and provided an assist. Lukas Dostal made 27 saves for the Ducks to secure the win. Prior to this game, the teams had met in the second round of last season's playoffs where Vegas won and advanced to win the Western Conference.

The Ducks took a commanding lead early on with goals from Beckett Sennecke (assisted by Carlsson), Jeff Malott, and Carlsson himself. However, in the third period, the Golden Knights made a comeback with three consecutive goals from Shea Theodore, Tomas Hertl, and Braeden Bowman. Despite their efforts, Vegas fell short due to an earlier deficit. Carter Hart played for the Golden Knights, stopping 16 shots.

Both teams will be back in action on Sunday, with the Ducks hosting Florida and the Golden Knights traveling to Vancouver.
