Trevor Connelly scores three big third-period goals on Vegas road trip
The Golden Knights rookie tied games in Boston and Pittsburgh, then scored the winner in Detroit. He has seven goals and five assists through 19 games.
Trevor Connelly scored in the third period of three straight games on the Vegas Golden Knights’ road trip last week. Two of those goals tied the game, and the third gave Vegas a win.
Connelly pulled Vegas even in Boston on Nov. 2, finishing a pass from Noah Hanifin at the net in a 3–2 shootout loss. He tied the game on a breakaway in Pittsburgh the following night, and the Golden Knights won 3–2. In Detroit on Nov. 5, he scored with 1:42 left to give Vegas a 2–1 win.
The 20-year-old winger has 12 points in his first 19 NHL games, including seven goals. Vegas has used him alongside centre Tomas Hertl and on the power play.
The Golden Knights drafted Connelly 19th overall in 2024. He put up 49 points in 46 games with the AHL’s Henderson Silver Knights last season under Ryan Craig, who now coaches Vegas.
