Ilya Samsonov made 38 saves, helping the Vegas Golden Knights secure a 3-2 win against the Ottawa Senators in Ottawa on Thursday evening.
His performance was vital, as he prevented significant attempts from players such as Josh Norris, David Perron, Tim Stutzle, and Brady Tkachuk.
The Senators are currently on a four-game losing streak and have only managed to score two goals in their last three matches.
Vegas gained an initial advantage with goals by Jack Eichel and Brett Howden.
In the third period, Adam Gaudette scored for Ottawa, but Pavel Dorofeyev quickly reestablished a two-goal lead for the Golden Knights.
Drake Batherson scored to keep the Senators in the game, but despite outshooting Vegas in the third period, they could not come back.
The Senators' difficulties persist, as they have experienced eight losses in a row and have a record of 1-9-1 when conceding the first goal.
Since joining the NHL in 2017, Vegas has a record of 12-1-1 against Ottawa.
The Senators will play the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night, while the Golden Knights are set to face the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday afternoon.
