Barbashev Go-Ahead Goal Lifts Golden Knights Past Ducks in Game 1 Opener · May 4, 2026
A tight, defensive-minded opener between first-time playoff opponents. Howden tapped in a Marner backdoor feed to open scoring in the second, before Granlund leveled it off a LaCombe rebound early in the third. Vegas responded quickly — Dorofeyev skated through two defenders and found Barbashev alone at the left post at 15:02, with Marner's empty-netter sealing a 3-1 win and a 1-0 series lead.
