William Karlsson got his

third career hat trick, Shea

Theodore scored in over-

time, and the Vegas Golden

Knights extended their win-

ning streak to a season-high

six with a 6-5 victory over the

Ducks on Sunday night.

Theodore’s winner 3 min-

utes 50 seconds into over-

time came after the Golden

Knights squandered a two-

goal lead late in the third pe-

riod. Mark Stone picked up

his fourth assist on Theo-

dore’s goal.

Vegas’ 5-3 lead appeared

safe until Adam Henrique

forced overtime with goals

1:42 apart. Both came when

the Ducks brought on an ex-

tra attacker.

Henrique got the Ducks

to within a goal with 2:57 left

when he knocked in a re-

bound after Nick Ritchie

was stopped by Vegas’ Mal-

colm Subban, then sent it to

overtime with 1:15 left when

the Ducks crashed the net.

“You play to win,” Hen-

rique said. “I thought we did

a good job pushing back.”

The Ducks (24-30-8) lost

their fourth straight.

“Big two points,” Golden

Knights coach Peter DeBoer

said. “We knew this was go-

ing to be a tough game at the

end of a hard week.”

Ritchie scored twice, in-

cluding a tying goal 21 sec-

onds into the third period,

before Karlsson put Vegas

ahead 4-3 6:28 into the third.

He completed his hat trick

at 11:05 with a backhand past

goalie John Gibson. Karls-

son entered Sunday without

a goal in his last 20 games.

Alec Martinez — ac-

quired from the Kings on

Tuesday — had a goal and an

assist for Vegas, and Max Pa-

cioretty added two assists.

Patrick Brown also scored

and Subban stopped 25

shots for the Golden

Knights (34-22-8), who lead

the Pacific Division.

Ritchie and Henrique

each also had two assists.

Devin Shore also scored for

the Ducks, and Gibson had

22 saves.

Ducks center Derek

Grant, who could be dealt

before Monday’s trade dead-

line, was a healthy scratch.

Chris CarlsonAssociated Press

John Gardner still laughs

when describing his first im-

pression of Tyler Madden:

“A skinny little kid,” the

Connecticut prep hockey

coach says.

That was five years ago,

when Madden arrived at

Avon Old Farms boarding

school — where Gardner

coaches — as a newly

enrolled ninth-grader on the

junior varsity team, even

smaller than his current 5-

foot-11, 155-pound size.

His stature, however, was

deceiving.

Madden quickly built up

his own pedigree, making his

once-uncertain long-term

potential immediately clear.

“I could see his talent,”

said Gardner, who once

coached Kings goalie Jona-

than Quick at Avon. “We put

him on the varsity team at

the end of the season. He

was tearing up the junior

varsity team.”

Thus began a path that

reached a major milestone

last week, when Madden,

now 20 years old and

counted among hockey’s

most promising prospects,

had his rights traded to the

Kings from the Vancouver

Canucks.

In the last five years, the

puck-possessing, play-mak-

ing centerman became the

captain at Avon and excelled

in the U.S. Hockey League.

He was picked by the

Canucks in the third round

of the 2018 NHL draft and

represented the U.S. in the

World Junior Champi-

onships that winter. He has

spent the past two seasons

starring at Northeastern,

tied for fourth nationally in

goals this season before be-

ing sidelined by a recent

thumb injury.

With the Kings, who lost

to the Edmonton Oilers 4-

on Sunday despite Anze Ko-

pitar’s team-leading 18th

goal, Madden is the newest

potential piece of the fran-

chise’s future, the biggest

prospect the Kings acquired

in their series of trades lead-

ing up to today’s deadline.

“[He was] upbeat, pos-

itive, excited about the op-

portunity with L.A.,” said

Northeastern coach Jim

Madigan. “He had some

good conversations with

L.A. leading into the draft

[in 2018], so to him it made

sense.”

Gardner and Madigan

each lauded Madden’s

trademark puck skills, but

were equally impressed with

the two-way development of

the son of former Selke Tro-

phy winner John Madden.

“He was always a work in

progress,” Gardner said.

“The good thing about him

was, there was a lot of prog-

ress. He loved the game, and

he worked at it. He’s one of

those guys who really

wanted to be on the ice all

the time.”

It’s too soon to know if

Madden will sign a contract

this offseason with the

Kings, who entered deadline

day having already com-

pleted their major moves.

Trevor Lewis and Derek

Forbort are rumored as the

two most-likely Kings who

could be dealt. But it’s

doubtful either will demand

a prospect as promising as

Madden in return.

“He’ll adjust to the NHL

game,” said Madigan, who

compared Madden to

Canucks forward Adam

Gaudette, a former Hobey

Baker Award winner at

Northeastern. “Certainly

the offensive part is his call-

ing card, but he’ll adjust to

being more thorough — and

he’s thorough already for us

— but he’ll understand he’s

not going to have that lati-

tude that we give him. He’ll

adapt his game.”

EDMONTON GOALIE Mike Smith stops a shot by Adrian Kempe in the Kings’ final game before today’s

trade deadline. L.A. has already made moves but Trevor Lewis and Derek Forbort could still be in play.
