Mitch Marner’s OT power-play goal lifts Golden Knights to 2-1 win over Kings

Mitch Marner scored a power-play goal from the high slot at 2:41 of overtime to lift the Vegas Golden Knights past the Los Angeles Kings, 2-1, in a Saturday matchup. The winning strike came after a game that had plenty of late suspense, with the margin staying slim until the extra session.

Trevor Connelly scored the other Golden Knights goal in regulation. In the scoring recap from the game, Vegas’s offensive production was spread across several players rather than concentrated on one line, a key detail in a contest where both teams kept checking each other’s scoring chances.

Mark Stone also played a central role in the way Vegas generated its looks, producing two assists. The game summary credited Stone with both of his points on assists, and it placed him alongside Marner and Connelly as major contributors in the final outcome.

Marner’s overtime goal was specifically described as a power-play finish, and it arrived from the high slot. That matters because it points to Vegas converting sustained special-teams pressure into a clean release area, rather than relying on chaos plays after a scramble.

The Golden Knights also marked the night with a tribute to their past, according to the game account. While that detail does not change the standings directly, it frames the emotional backdrop for a game that ended with the kind of decisive, high-visibility moment coaches often value when setting the tone for a season.

For Los Angeles, the loss meant it came up short despite staying within striking distance throughout. With a one-goal final score decided in overtime, both sides will likely look at power play timing and late-game execution as the swing factors. The immediate next step for Vegas is to carry forward the confidence from a special-teams-driven finish, while the Kings will look to tighten the defensive coverage that allowed that high-slot opportunity in overtime.
