  "account": "In the inaugural game of the Vegas Golden Knights season, the team found themselves struggling to come back from a four-goal deficit against the Anaheim Ducks. The Ducks managed to score four goals in a seven-minute span, giving them a 4-0 lead. Despite a furious third-period rally by the Knights, they were unable to equalize in the final seconds. The Ducks' goal rush came from Bennett Sennecke, Leo Carlsson, Alex Killorn, and Jeff Mallot. Vegas coach Ryan Craig admitted that the team's execution seemed off, with pucks going through their sticks and defensemen being out of position. Vegas captain Mark Stone acknowledged that the team's confidence takes a hit when they are down by four goals, as it becomes a tall task to come back. The Knights will face challenges as they embark on their road trip to Vancouver and Seattle, having already lost a Pacific Division contest.",
  "summary": "Spotting the visitors a four-goal lead is not a formula for success in Vegas' 4-3 loss.",
