SUNRISE, Fla.—After four days of rest, the alarm clock just never found the Vegas Golden Knights in time.

On Saturday afternoon, the Golden Knights became the final team in the NHL to drop a game in regulation, falling to the Florida Panthers 3-0 at Amerant Bank Arena.

Coming in with the best offense in the NHL, the Golden Knights could do virtually nothing against Panthers netminder Sergei Bobrovsky. Bobrovsky stopped all 17 shots he faced, and the Golden Knights were also unsuccessful on both of their power plays.

Despite a slow start for both teams, Akira Schmid stayed sharp early on, making saves on good chances from Anton Lundell and Evan Rodrigues in the first period.

However, with a little over two and a half minutes to go in the first period, the dam finally broke on the Golden Knights. Carter Verhaeghe found Sam Reinhart after he beat the Vegas defense and earned a breakaway opportunity. Reinhart has scored more than 30 goals in each of the last four seasons, and he showed why when his shot beat Schmid on the glove side for the first goal of the game.

The second period went more of the same way for the Golden Knights, generating little offensively with only five shots in the middle frame and 12 after 40 minutes.

However, the story remained Schmid keeping his team in the fight. The Golden Knights were successful in killing two penalties, and Schmid made an excellent blocker save on Rodrigues after the team found themselves hemmed into their own zone.

Three and a half minutes into the third period, however, the Panthers extended their lead. The Panthers fourth line pressured Vegas defenseman Zach Whitecloud into coughing up the puck behind the net, leading to a scrum in front of Schmid. Eventually, former Golden Knight Cole Schwindt found the puck and fired it into the net to open up a 2-0 lead.

Halfway through the third, the Panthers all but iced the game when AJ Greer pushed the lead out to 3-0. He got his goal by getting the puck behind the net and wrapping around, beating Schmid to the left side.

After that, neither side generated much in the way of the offense, and the Panthers celebrated their shutout victory.

The Golden Knights will hope for a quick turnaround on Sunday when they face the Tampa Bay Lightning, with rookie goaltender Carl Lindbom likely receiving his first NHL start.
