Dowd Shorthanded Goal Ignites Vegas Comeback · Mar. 28, 2026
Playing his first game against his former Washington Capitals, Nic Dowd — acquired by Vegas at the trade deadline on March 5 — sparked the Golden Knights' dramatic second-period rally by stealing the puck in the slot and snapping a shorthanded goal past Logan Thompson to make it 1–3. It was the fifth shorthanded goal of his career and his first as a Golden Knight. The goal immediately ignited Vegas's three-goal blitz that erased a 0–3 hole and tied the game within 2:40.
