The @GoldenKnights saw their three-game win streak snapped by the Lightning. My @SportingTrib column on the 6-2 loss to the Bolts. thesportingtribune.com/2026/…

Final: Lightning 6, Knights 2.

Lightning 5, Knights 2, end second period.

Hedman from long distance beats Hart. 5-2 Bolts. Hart gets beat far too often from so far out.

Cirelli strikes again. 4-2 Lightning. Hart not having a great night in the Knights net. We're on natural hatty watch here for 71.

Tampa takes the lead after it appeared Hagel was offsides. Vegas didn't challenge. Bolts up 3-2 courtesy of Cirelli.

I think I may have witnessed a first in 65+ years of watching hockey: two defensemen from the same team lost their sticks at the same time. In this case, VGK's McNabb and Theodore. How Bolts didn't score is amazing.

Knights 2, Bolts 2 after 20 wild and sloppy minutes. This has a 7-5 final written all over it. Who gets the 7? Your guess is as good as mine.

Knights tie it 2-2 on Stone shorty after Vasy misplayed the puck and Bowman got to it first, then fed the captain alone in front.

Knights and Bolts trade goals. First Barbashev off rebound of Mitchie's shot ties it 1-1. Then Carlson puts home rebound of his own shot that Hart fails to get cleanly. 2-1 TBL.

Haggle with the tip-in on the PP. 1-0 Tampa.

Bolts with early PP as Coghlan sits for holding 3:32 in.

Lauzon with a big-time rubout of Geekie behind the Vegas net just seconds into the match. Then Vasy with the glove save on Karlsson who had timer and space to shoot.

It's Carter Hart in net for Vegas, Andrei Vasilevskiy for the Bolts as warmups are underway at @TMobileArena. Puck drop is slated for 7:45 p.m.

For the Raiders and their fans, Sunday's loss to the Bills had a familiar look and feel to it. My @SportingTrib column on the 33-30 loss to Buffalo. thesportingtribune.com/2026/…

Final: Bills 33, Raiders 30. Las Vegas is now 3-3 after its 3-0 start., The Rams come to Vegas next Sunday.

Shakir fields the onside kick. Bills will have it at their 45.

Cousins goes deep to Tucker and they connect in the end zone for 44-yard TD to pull the Raiders within 3, 33-30 w/1:32 to go. The Raiders will try an onside kick.

The Bills answer, marching right down the field and take the lead, 30-23. Allen found Cook in the left flat with no one in the same zip code and he went 26 yards to the LV 3. Cook carried it into the end zone next play. Took less than 3 1/2 minutes.
