Carrier’s late goal lifts Golden Knights past Panthers 4-2

Mark Anderson, The Associated Press 4 minute read Friday, Jan. 13, 2023

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Vegas Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy makes it a habit to start his fourth line because he likes how those three players set the tone.

They did more than set that Thursday.

The fourth line produced two goals, including William Carrier's winner with 2:36 left, and two assists in the Knights' 4-2 victory over the Florida Panthers.

The Panthers challenged Carrier's goal for goaltender interference. Officials ruled he was pushed into Florida goalie Sergei Bobrovsky by the Panthers' Brandon Montour, allowing the goal to stand.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Mark Kastelic spent the build-up to the game with family and friends. He signed a hockey stick for a kid during pregame warmups, something he rarely does.

When the puck wasn't in play, Kastelic found himself sneaking peeks into the crowd, even finding his mom in the corner.

Kastelic's first NHL game in his hometown was going to be memorable no matter what. He added the perfect topper to a perfect day by scoring the winning goal.

Kastelic scored in the third period to give Ottawa a two-goal lead and the Senators held on to beat his hometown Arizona Coyotes 5-3 on Thursday night.
