The Penguins drop a 3-2 decision to the Vegas Golden Knights after a costly late‑game collapse, squandering a two‑man power play in the third period. Meanwhile, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman praises the Hoffmann family’s recent purchase of the team, and the league notes several headlines—including Canada’s ban on Russia and Belarus for next month’s World Junior Championship, Jarome Iginla’s health battle, Brad Lambert’s waiver placement, and rising market interest in Nikita Kucherov.
The Penguins fall 3-2 to the Golden Knights on Nov. 3, 2026, as special‑team mishaps cost them. Vegas scores the opening goal on a power play (the first PP goal allowed at PPG Paints Arena this season) and adds a second before the third. Pittsburgh rallies in the third, tying the game on a Kaeden Korczak rebound and taking the lead when Rickard Rakell capitalizes on a defensive misstep with 10:02 left. A late penalty kills a potential game‑winner, and Connelly’s breakaway ties it again as the match heads to a finish. The recap highlights missed PP chances, key performances by Crosby, Rakell and Novak, and the ongoing special‑teams struggle for the Pens.
Detroit’s veteran netminder John Gibson leaves the Lightning game in Tampa after the first period with a lower‑body injury and will not return. Gibson had stopped 11 of 13 shots, allowing two goals to Braden Point, before exiting. This marks his first missed start of the season; he holds a 4-5-1 record and a 3.37 GAA in ten starts. The Red Wings may summon prospect Michal Postava if Gibson is sidelined beyond the next two nights, as they head home to face the Las Vegas Golden Knights.

Evgeni Malkin is out for Pittsburgh's game against Vegas with a lower-body injury. The Penguins center is listed day to day, according to NHL.com.
Boston rookie Matthew Poitras, who has posted four goals and seven points in 12 games, suffers a facial injury after a collision with Vegas forward Braeden Bowman during the Bruins' 3-2 shootout win on Nov. 2. Poitras returned to the bench with a bubble shield but logged only 3:13 of ice time and missed Tuesday's practice. The NHL will not issue supplemental discipline to Bowman, who received a five‑minute major and a game misconduct for the hit. Poitstra’s health is uncertain, and his absence could hurt Boston, which sits 11‑4‑1 atop the Atlantic Division and heads to Pittsburgh next.
