Ducks, Second Round Game 4, beat Golden Knights 4–3 at Honda Center on May 10, 2026.
The second round of the playoffs continues to deliver drama as the Anaheim Ducks edged out the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 in Game 4. This thrilling contest results in the series being tied at 2-2. Both teams are now poised for a pivotal matchup in the next game, as they both vie for an edge in this best-of-7 series.
The momentum shifted dramatically in the latter stages of the second period. After the Golden Knights tied the game at 2-2 with a goal from Brett Howden early in the second, the Ducks quickly responded. Alex Killorn restored Anaheim's lead just before the end of the period, scoring with only 2 seconds left on the clock. This goal not only gave the Ducks a 3-2 lead going into the third period but also shifted the energy, fueling the Ducks’ determination to hold onto their advantage.
The Ducks continued to build on this momentum early in the third. Ian Moore found the back of the net at 3:43 to extend the lead to 4-2. Although the Golden Knights fought back with a late goal from Tomas Hertl, bringing the score to 4-3, they couldn’t manage to equalize.
Beckett Sennecke was a driving force for the Ducks with a goal and an assist on a critical play. His offensive contributions were complemented by Alex Killorn, who also notched a goal and an assist. Cutter Gauthier was instrumental as well, providing two assists, highlighting his playmaking ability.
The Golden Knights' Mitchell Marner was again a standout, assisting on multiple goals and keeping pressure on the Ducks' defense throughout the game. However, the Golden Knights' inability to capitalize on opportunities—including power plays—proved costly, as they scored only once with the man advantage despite having three opportunities.
Tied at two games each, the series is wide open as it heads back to Vegas for Game 5. Both teams will be looking to seize control and create separation in this tightly contested matchup. One misstep could prove pivotal as it inches closer to the decisive games of the series.
