Tomas Hertl, Keegan Kolesar and Ivan Barbashev all scored with less than four minutes remaining in the third period Friday to rally the Vegas Golden Knights past the Ottawa Senators 6-4 in Las Vegas.

Nicolas Roy and Nicolas Hague also tallied goals for the Golden Knights, while Adin Hill stopped 35 of the 39 shots he faced.

Linus Ullmark, who missed the Senators’ past four games with a strain injury, made 22 saves in the loss. Adam Gaudette scored twice, while Drake Batherson and Claude Giroux each added one goal and one assist for Ottawa.

Hertl tied the game at 4 on the power play when he slid a feed from Mark Stone through the legs of Ullmark with 3:11 left. Kolesar scored exactly one minute later to give Vegas the lead, before Barbashev tacked on an empty-netter for his second goal of the game and seventh of the season.

Gaudette scored the game’s opening goal less than three minutes into the contest. Giroux then gave the Senators a 2-0 lead with just under eight minutes left in the opening frame as he leapt toward a bouncing puck and batted it through the legs of Hill.

The Golden Knights pulled even at 2-2 after Roy and Hague scored 21 seconds apart late in the first. Batherson swiftly answered Vegas’ spurt, picking up a loose puck and wiring it past Hill just 50 seconds after Hague’s goal to put the Senators ahead 3-2 with 1:26 left in the first.

The Golden Knights leveled the game at 3 with 13:20 to go in the second period. Barbashev reached up high to tip in Alex Pietrangelo’s point shot. Gaudette netted his second goal — this one on the power play — with 2:16 left to leave Ottawa ahead 4-3 entering the final period.

Hertl, Kolesar and Barbashev’s late heroics propelled Vegas to 5-0-0 at home this season.
