Golden Knights' Noah Hanifin: Two helpers in overtime win
Hanifin logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Mammoth in Game 4.
Hanifin has a pair of two-assist performances in this postseason. He's added six shots on net, five blocked shots, four hits and a plus-1 rating. The 29-year-old defenseman's top-four role is secure, so he should be able to chip in fairly steady offense as long as the Golden Knights' scoring doesn't disappear.

Golden Knights' Cole Smith: Pots goal in Game 5
Smith scored a goal on two shots, added four PIM, dished out nine hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Mammoth in Game 4.
Smith has chipped in a goal, two assists, five shots, six PIM, 20 hits and a plus-4 rating over four playoff contests. The 30-year-old winger is filling a bottom-six role, which is where he can shine through with physical play. He had eight goals, 12 points, 69 shots on net, 173 hits and 40 PIM across 63 regular-season games between Vegas and Nashville this year. This is just the second time he's been in the postseason -- he went scoreless over five games with the Predators in the 2024 playoffs.

Golden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Opens scoring Monday
Dorofeyev scored a goal on four shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Mammoth in Game 4.
Dorofeyev had been held off the scoresheet in the first three games of the series. He was put on the top line Monday, and that connection paid off immediately as Ivan Barbashev and Jack Eichel assisted Dorofeyev's goal 1:12 into the contest. Through four playoff contests, Dorofeyev has 12 shots on net and three hits. He can be more impactful on offense -- the winger produced 37 goals, 64 points and 230 shots on net over 82 regular-season outings.

Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Three assists in Game 4 win
Eichel recorded three assists and six shots on goal in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Mammoth in Game 4 of their first-round series.
Eichel has scored just one goal in the series, but he has five assists over the last three games, so he's making an impact in other areas. He came through in the clutch as well, setting up Shea Theodore's overtime game-winner. Eichel has six points, a plus-1 rating, 10 shots, five hits and three blocked shots in his last three appearances, and he should play a key role for the Golden Knights in the reminder of the series.

Golden Knights' Brett Howden: Clutch performance in Game 4
Howden recorded two goals, including one shorthanded, and an assist in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Mammoth in Game 4 of their first-round series.
Howden had gone pointless while posting an even rating in the first three games of the series, but he came out of nowhere to deliver three points while also logging 21:54 TOI -- a playoff-high mark for the 28-year-old. Howden has a bottom-six role in the lineup, so he's not expected to deliver multi-point performances on a regular basis, but he should continue to see scoring opportunities due to his role in the second power-play unit. He had 22 points (12 goals, 10 assists) across 58 regular-season appearances this year.

Golden Knights' Shea Theodore: Scores game-winning goal
Theodore scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Mammoth in Game 4 of their first-round series.
Theodore went pointless and posted a minus-2 rating in his first three playoff appearances, but he came through when the Golden Knights needed him the most in Game 4. He slotted a snap shot past Karel Vejmelka with 52 seconds left in overtime to even the series at 2-2. Theodore has nine shots in his four playoff appearances so far, so it wouldn't be shocking if he continues to crack the scoresheet. The veteran defenseman had 10 goals and 39 points across 79 regular-season appearances this year.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Earns OT win in Game 4
Hart stopped 27 of 31 shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Mammoth in Game 4 of their first-round series.
Hart bounced back after back-to-back losses in Games 2 and 3 of the series, including a Game 3 defeat that saw him allow four goals on 12 shots faced. Even though Hart earned the win, the Golden Knights had to erase a third-period deficit before closing things out in overtime, so this was far from a dominant performance from Vegas. Plus, this was Hart's third straight game with a save percentage below the .900 mark. He'll look to earn consecutive wins for the first time in the current playoff run in Game 5 at home Wednesday.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Ready to play in Game 4
Hart was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports, indicating that he'll draw the Game 4 start on the road against Utah.
After turning aside 31 of 33 shots (.939 save percentage) during a 4-2 win in Game 1, Hart is coming off back-to-back losses in which he's allowed a total of seven goals on 41 shots. However, he'll remain in the crease Monday as the Golden Knights attempt to even the series.

Golden Knights' Trevor Connelly: Recalled from AHL
Connelly has been recalled from AHL Henderson by the Golden Knights, the team announced Sunday.
Connelly has been one of the top scorers for Henderson, the Golden Knights' AHL affiliate, registering 49 points (14 goals, 35 assists) in 46 games. With about a week in between games after the Silver Knights picked up an opening-round playoff sweep, Connelly will get a chance to spend some time with the big club. Barring an injury up front for Vegas, it's likely that the 20-year-old will be sent back to Henderson in time for Game 1 of the Calder Cup Pacific Division Finals against AHL Colorado on May 1.

Golden Knights' Braeden Bowman: Summoned from AHL
Bowman was recalled from AHL Henderson on Sunday.
Bowman contributed eight goals, 26 points, 75 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and 19 hits in 54 NHL appearances during the 2025-26 regular season. He could be an option for Monday's Game 4 matchup against Utah.

Golden Knights' Nic Dowd: Pots goal in Game 3 loss
Dowd scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Mammoth in Game 3.
Dowd has managed two goals on four shots while adding six hits and a plus-1 rating over three playoff outings. His goal brought the Golden Knights within two with 3:08 left in the third period, but that wasn't enough time to work with. Dowd remains locked in on the fourth line, and if any lineup changes are coming, he would be more likely to gain ice time than he would be to get scratched.

Golden Knights' Jack Eichel: Finds twine in loss
Eichel scored a goal on three shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Mammoth in Game 3.
Eichel has earned three points, seven shots on net, four hits and four blocked shots over three playoff contests. He got the Golden Knights on the board in the second period, but a comeback didn't follow. Eichel has been fine offensively so far, and Vegas will need him to at least continue this level of play as they try to overcome a 2-1 series deficit.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Bad outing in Game 3 loss
Hart gave up four goals on 12 shots in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Mammoth in Game 3.
Hart has trended down as this first-round series has progressed. He was unable to find success against an opportunistic attack from the Mammoth in this game, which saw them score all four goals over the first 30 minutes. He's now allowed nine goals on 74 shots over three playoff contests. It's not yet clear if head coach John Tortorella will stick with Hart for Monday's Game 4, but it would be tough for the 27-year-old netminder to have a worse performance than he did Friday.

Golden Knights' Carter Hart: Starting Game 3
Hart was the first goalie off the ice during Friday's morning skate, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports, indicating that he'll draw the Game 3 start on the road against Utah.
Hart will draw a third consecutive start to begin the Golden Knights' first-round series. He's been relatively solid to begin the playoffs, posting a 2.56 GAA and .919 save percentage over his first two starts, but he took the regulation loss in Game 2 on Tuesday after winning Game 1. Tuesday's Game 2 loss snapped Hart's seven-game winning streak that dated back to the start of April, and he'll attempt to return to the win column Friday.

Golden Knights' Trevor Connelly: Earns three points in AHL win
Connelly scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Henderson's 5-4 overtime win in Game 1 over San Jose on Wednesday.
Connelly's goal was the game-winner. The 20-year-old winger was in his AHL playoff debut Wednesday and rose to the occasion. He totaled 14 goals and 35 helpers over 46 regular-season outings. The Golden Knights have no need to rush Connelly to the NHL, but if he plays well early in 2026-27, he'll be knocking at the door for a call-up.

Golden Knights' Raphael Lavoie: Pots pair for Henderson
Lavoie scored twice in AHL Henderson's 5-4 overtime win over San Jose in Game 1 on Wednesday.
Lavoie was a 30-goal scorer in the regular season (56 points in 45 contests), and his talent carried over to the first playoff contest. The Quebec native is looking to get past the opening round for the first time in his AHL career. Lavoie's strong scoring marks could make him a call-up option if Vegas sustains multiple injuries to forwards during its postseason run.
