LAS VEGAS — John Gibson gave the Detroit Red Wings a chance as they finished up a lengthy road trip.
The outing against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday, Nov. 4 was the last stop on a five-game trek that began a week earlier. The Wings didn't play poorly, but for the first time this season they were unable to find the back of the net, losing, 1-0 at T-Mobile Arena.
The Wings (9-5-0) went 3-2 on the trip.
Alex DeBrincat created a great scoring opportunity early in the third period, but Akira Schmid denied the first attempt and the rebound.
The Wings went on a power play midway through the period. Emmitt Finnie got the puck near the crease but didn't have much time to maneuver and his backhand shot went wide. Hopes of a comeback appeared to take a hit when Jeremy Lauzon scored with five minutes to play, but the Wings successfully challenged off-side, keeping it a one-goal game. Gibson went to the bench with about two minutes to play for the extra attacker.

The Wings went on a power play midway through the first period, but the first unit wasn't able to establish much of anything for having to chase down the puck before Lucas Raymond was called for an off-setting penalty 55 seconds later. The Golden Knights gained more momentum of their short power play, but Gibson was strong in net. He made 14 saves in the first period, to nine by Schmid.
The Golden Knights broke through on their 21st shot, at 13:45 of the second period. Jack Eichel carried the puck into the offensive zone and got the puck to Lauzon. His shot from the blue line was blocked. Brandon Saad got the puck and tried a shot, but Gibson stopped that attempt. Ivan Barbashev, right by the crease, was able to connect on the rebound and stuff it into Detroit's net.
The Wings generally have been sharp in the second period, but this wasn't one of those nights. They ran around a lot, and only managed to direct five shots on Vegas' net.
