SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah Hockey Club led by two goals, courtesy of Logan Cooley and Mikhail Sergachev, before the Las Vegas Golden Knights came storming back to win by two goals in the final minutes.
Cooley’s goal came in the first period and Sergachev doubled the lead early in the second. Vegas stopped the bleeding with a bar-and-in Tomas Hertl goal about six minutes later. The third saw three unanswered for the Golden Knights, one being an open net walk-in for William Karlsson in the final seconds.
Utah will have two days off before they welcome the Washington Capitals into town on Monday, November 18, as the final match in a three-game homestand.

Really good pressure by the Utah Hockey Club through the first few minutes here. They’re suffocating Vegas with an aggressive forecheck and possessing well in the O-zone.#UtahHC

Kesselring is so aggressive on the rush. He consistently has great zone entries and helps create dangerous opportunities. Very much needed by this team.#UtahHC
— Cole Bagley (@BagleyKSLsports) November 16, 2024
Barrett Hayton just put one off the crossbar. Wicked fast zone entry, carried the puck right to the front, and just rang it off the bar.
So close. Great individual effort.#UtahHC

Cooley has been very involved and aggressive the past few games. Effort is finally rewarded with a gorgeous one-timer top shelf.
What a shot.#UtahHC https://t.co/1S0c6C2Gm3

5 minutes left in the first period, and it has essentially been one way traffic for #UtahHC thus far.
In addition to a 1-0 lead, they’ve been super aggressive, dominated puck possession, and created a plethora of dangerous chances. Definitely riding the energy from Thursday.

Great atmosphere tonight. Most bodies in the building since the home opener. Appears to be a completely packed building. https://t.co/5WFauuhaIa

Utah’s sticks have been particularly good tonight. SO many poke checks to deny dangerous chances and break up offensive opportunities for Vegas.
Lamoureux specifically has been so good in that area and over the past few games. Helps when you’re 7 feet tall.#UtahHC

Kesselring left the ice favoring either his wrist or his hand after taking a puck in that area. He took his glove off as he entered the bench.
Something to keep an eye on.#UtahHC

Great work from Sergachev here. Patience, takes what the defense is giving him, steps up, and fires a laser glove side.
He was such a good acquisition this offseason. Makes such an impact all over the ice.#UtahHC https://t.co/rtTg7qzRtq

Lamoureux standing up for his goaltender after Vejmelka was taken out by Hertl on the last sequence.
Lamoureux gave him a few nice bumps and let him know that’s not going to fly. Kid is fearless. Hertl also didn’t seem overly interested in any extracurriculars.

Miscommunication behind the net and Vegas stuffs one in. However, the net came off during the process and the goal is disallowed.
