BROADCAST INFORMATION NOTES Nic Dowd<\/a> tallied his first goal with the Golden Knights on Saturday for an unassisted, shorthanded goal.<\/p>\n Rasmus Andersson<\/a> recorded his first shorthanded goal of the campaign, third of his career, and stretched his season total goals to a career-high 14.<\/p>\n Jack Eichel<\/a> added a goal and two assists on Saturday, and has four points (1G, 3A) in his last two games.<\/p>\n VGK MILESTONE WATCH CAREER MILESTONE WATCH VGK SCORING LEADERS BY THE NUMBERS 24 \u2013 Jack Eichel\u2019s three-point outing marked his 24th multi-point performance this season, tying Marner for second most in a campaign in franchise history.\u00a0<\/p>\n LAST TIME OUT SEASON SERIES OPPOSITION UPDATE PACIFIC DIVISION STANDINGS A VEGAS VICTORY WOULD\u2026 KEYS TO THE GAME Keep it Quiet: Vancouver has managed just 180 goals this season, the fewest in the NHL. Vegas can take the air out of the Canucks\u2019 attack by staying structured in its own zone, limiting odd-man rushes and keeping the forecheck contained. If the Golden Knights play a clean 200-foot game, they can dominate O-zone time and keep pressure on Vancouver throughout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Vegas Golden Knights (32-26-16) host the Vancouver Canucks (21-43-8) Monday at\u00a0T-Mobile Arena with puck drop at 7…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":540575,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5129],"tags":[149,5317,5,4,74,39,5316],"class_list":{"0":"post-540574","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-vegas-golden-knights","8":"tag-golden-knights","9":"tag-goldenknights","10":"tag-hockey","11":"tag-nhl","12":"tag-vegas","13":"tag-vegas-golden-knights","14":"tag-vegasgoldenknights"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116347495122153227","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=540574"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/540574\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/540575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=540574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=540574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=540574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Rasmus Andersson beat two defenders on the rush for another shorthanded goal 25 seconds later, and Jack Eichel added his 25th goal to end the second period at 3-3.\u00a0Mitch Marner buried a power-play goal less than a minute into the third period, but Dylan Strome fired back with a power-play mark of his own to bring Washington even and force overtime. After a scoreless extra frame, Strome scored the only goal of the shootout to lift the Capitals to a 5-4 win. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Vegas is set to meet Vancouver for the second time this season. In their first meeting, the Golden Knights came away with a commanding 5-2 win on Feb. 4 at T-Mobile Arena. After a quiet opening frame, Jack\u00a0Eichel put the Golden Knights on the board five minutes into the second period, starting a frenzy of four goals between the two teams in under three minutes that left Vegas with a 3-1 lead. Pierre-Olivier Joseph found the net in the final 10 seconds before the second intermission to bring Vancouver within one, but Pavel Dorofeyev and\u00a0Alexander Holtz<\/a> both struck in the first four minutes of the closing frame to allow Vegas to cruise to a 5-2 victory. Akira Schmid<\/a> turned aside 21 of the 23 shots he faced to earn his 16th win on the season.<\/p>\n
The Vancouver Canucks enter Monday\u2019s game with a 21-43-8 record and an NHL-low 50 points this season as they occupy last place in the Pacific Division.

On March 22, Vancouver was officially eliminated from playoff contention. Elias Petterson leads the way for Vancouver with 45 points (15G, 30A), followed by Filip Hronek with 41 points (8G, 33A) and Brock Boeser with 38 points (17G, 21A).<\/p>\n

Stars Deliver: Mark Stone, Mitch Marner and Jack Eichel have combined for seven points over the last two games and keeping that production rolling against a vulnerable Vancouver group could be the difference. When the team\u2019s top pieces are generating at that clip, Vegas is a difficult team to contain.<\/p>\n
