In Las Vegas, John Gibson made 21 saves to guide the Anaheim Ducks to a 1-0 win over the Golden Knights on Thursday night.
“I think you have to play with confidence. We put a lot more emphasis on it this trip,” Gibson said. “We have some guys stepping up and scoring goals at big times. Tonight, it was a total team effort. It was nice to come away with a big win.”
Max Comtois scored the game’s only goal in the latter minutes of the third period.
“I just have fun playing out there,” Comtois said. “I’m not focused on if I make a mistake out there. I’m trying to find soft spots on the ice and use my shot and surprise goalies.”
The Knights were in gold helmets for the games.
“It’s a fun building. I like coming here,” Comtois said. “It’s fun, it’s hard to play here. We don’t have the most success here, but today was a key point we focused on. We wanted to bring our ‘A’ game and we did it.”
Marc-Andre Fleury made 27 saves in his first loss of the season.
“Unfortunate to waste an effort like that. He was our best player,” Golden Knights head coach Peter DeBoer said. “Considering the circumstances, he got the call to go in late tonight, it was a great effort by him. I know the guys feel like they let him down tonight.”
