The Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Winnipeg Jets 4-3, thanks to an outstanding performance by Brett Howden. The Canadian forward scored twice, including the go-ahead goal in the third period. Following the victory, Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy shared his thoughts on the team’s strong performance.
With this win, the Golden Knights continue their momentum and solidify their position in the standings. The team’s excellent chemistry and high level of play have made them one of the top contenders for the Stanley Cup.
Howden played a pivotal role in the victory, capitalizing on a great opportunity to score the game-winning goal. “I had the easy job of just trying to find the open ice, trying to find a quiet area,” Howden said.
“[Alexander Holtz] did a good job of driving to the net. He took two or three guys with him, so it left me open. Then [Karlsson] made the play, so it was pretty easy for me to just put it into the empty net. It was a really good play by them.” Howden added
