Golden Knights not worried as pivotal Game Five against Ducks looms
The Vegas Golden Knights celebrate a goal scored during an NHL playoffs game against The Anaheim Ducks on May 10th, 2026 at Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The Vegas Golden Knights continue to have everything in front of them heading into Game Five. On Tuesday, the Golden Knights look to regain the series lead once again when the second round series against the Anaheim Ducks returns to Las Vegas.
Venue : T-Mobile Arena, Paradise, NV Date : Tuesday, May 12 Time : 6:30 pm PST How To Watch : ESPN Radio : 1340 AM, 94. 7 FM In the most evenly matched game of the series so far, the Golden Knights could not come up with a response in time to prevent the Ducks from tying the series. Now, Vegas must follow a similar script as the first round against the Utah Mammoth, with the pesky younger team splitting four games and pushing the Golden Knights to their limits.
However, there is still no concern from the Golden Knights at this stage, who appear comfortable from working in their current position. “I have zero worries about this team as far as how we’re going to go about the next few games here, wherever it goes to,” Vegas head coach John Tortorella said after Game Four on Sunday. “I have total trust.
” Here is how the Golden Knights can repay that trust and keep things going. Next man up If the Golden Knights are going to put the pressure on the Ducks when Game Six heads back to Anaheim, they will have to continue doing so without Mark Stone. The captain was ruled out prior to morning skate, as was defenseman Jeremy Lauzon.
The recall of Braeden Bowman from the Henderson Silver Knights suggests that the team is preparing for options in the event Stone’s latest injury carries long-term implications. It is not like the Golden Knights are in serious trouble without Stone, but the difficult in replacing a player that does so many things on the ice creates something of a disadvantage for Vegas going forward. “Obviously, that's a big piece, but it's kind of that next-man-up mentality,” Golden Knights forward Brett Howden said on Monday.
