\"Islanders<\/p>\n

Brayden McNabb celebrates 600 games, but the Golden Knights drop their fourth straight in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders at T-Mobile Arena.<\/p>\n

The Golden Knights fought back from two goals down and briefly held the lead Thursday night, but a late New York push and a short-handed overtime finish sent Vegas to a 4\u20133 loss at T-Mobile Arena. The skid is now four games for a team searching for answers in mid-November.<\/p>\n

The night started with a moment for the home crowd: Brayden McNabb skated in his 600th game with Vegas, one of the original \u201cMisfits\u201d still on the roster. He leads the franchise in hits and blocks, a reminder of how long he has anchored the blue line.<\/p>\n

But the celebration didn\u2019t carry into the first period. Vegas outshot New York 10\u20136 yet went to the intermission down 2\u20130 after giveaways and a penalty turned into Islanders goals. Reilly Smith said the team can\u2019t keep digging holes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were the better team and it seems like this is happening to us a lot lately,\u201d Smith said. \u201cWe\u2019re putting ourselves in that position pretty often right now. We have to figure that out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shea Theodore scored late in the second, Tomas Hertl tied it early in the third, and Smith jammed in a rebound to give Vegas a 3\u20132 lead. New York\u2019s challenge for goalie interference failed, but the Knights couldn\u2019t extend the lead on the power play.<\/p>\n

Mathew Barzal tied it with 2:37 left, and in overtime Vegas hit a post and a crossbar before Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored short-handed off a turnover.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a chance to extend the lead and didn\u2019t generate much,\u201d coach Bruce Cassidy said.<\/p>\n

Rookie forward Braeden Bowman impressed in his debut, earning praise for his poise and puck work.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe created some opportunities and has a bright future,\u201d Smith said.<\/p>\n

“We didn\u2019t play our best tonight, and it\u2019s frustrating. The injuries are piling up, but we can\u2019t let that be an excuse. We\u2019ve got to fight through it, especially when we have a chance to take control. We\u2019ll need to learn from this and be ready for the road trip.”<\/p>\n
