Overview
- Henderson secured its berth with a 5-4 comeback over Tucson, as Dylan Coghlan tied the game with 1:26 left and Braedan Bowman knocked in the winner seconds later.
- The Silver Knights needed two regulation wins entering the weekend and delivered, following a three-goal rally the night before that ended on Viliam Kmec’s late strike.
- Bowman, reassigned from the Vegas Golden Knights after 54 NHL games, scored twice including the clincher and added two primary assists in the finale.
- Jonas Røndbjerg set the franchise goals mark at 81, and March rookie of the month Trevor Connelly assisted the opener to extend his point streak to 17 games.
- Coach Ryan Craig said the team’s never-out mindset will carry into higher-stakes games, and home ice remains in reach with six games left and Henderson two points off third.
