Ottawa lost 4–1 to Vegas on October 27 after a third-period tie was broken by Raphael Lavoie's first NHL goal, according to NHL reporting.
A tie broken in the third period
The Ottawa Senators lost 4–1 to the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena on October 27, according to the NHL's official game recap published October 28. Vegas opened the scoring on a late second-period power play from Braeden Bowman. Ottawa's Shane Pinto equalized 34 seconds into the third on a power play. Raphael Lavoie restored the Golden Knights' lead at 8:01 of the third period with his first NHL goal, putting Vegas ahead 2–1.
How the final margin formed
Vegas added two empty-net goals, from William Karlsson and Jack Eichel, in the closing minutes to produce the 4–1 final score. Golden Knights goaltender Adin Hill made 24 saves; Ottawa's Jonas Johansson was credited with 25 saves. The result ended a three-game winless run for Vegas. Those late empty-net goals widened the final score but do not change the fact that the contest was tied early in the third period.
