Dylan Coghlan scored his first playoff goal to get Vegas rolling, Carter Hart made 36 saves and the Golden Knights opened the Western Conference Final by holding off the Colorado Avalanche 4-2 on Wednesday night.Trailing 3-0 in the third period, Colorado made it 3-2 with 2:21 remaining on a power-play goal from Gabriel Landeskog. Nic Dowd sealed it for Vegas with an empty-net goal.Pavel Dorofeyev and Brett Howden also scored for the Golden Knights, who took advantage of several defensive miscommunications by the Avalanche as they juggled their blue-line pairings with Cale Makar sidelined by an upper-body injury. Coghlan scored his first NHL goal since Dec. 17, 2021. The 28-year-old defenseman spent most of the season in the American Hockey League. He's played the last five postseason games with the recent injury to Jeremy Lauzon.When you say Dylan Coghlan to me, I think of no fear, Vegas coach John Tortorella said. I think he's one of our best defensemen since he's been with us and in the lineup. ... He's a bit unflappable."It was a smothering performance most of the game by the Golden Knights as they kept the pressure on goaltender Scott Wedgewood, while controlling the Avalanche's speed through the neutral zone. Vegas also had 23 blocked shots.We didn't play a flawless game by any means, Tortorella said. We have work to do.Valeri Nichushkin had a goal at 5:53 of the third to make it 3-1.Hart was stellar most of the evening, making one sprawling save after another. He got some help from his post, too, when Logan OConnor's liner clanged off it in the first period. We know they've got a lot of skill on their team, and we respect that, Hart said. But you cant respect them too much, and I thought we did a good job of defending and limiting their time and space.Mitch Marner added an assist for Vegas to give him 19 points (seven goals, 12 assists) in this postseason. It was Dorofeyevs NHL-leading 10th goal of this postseason. The Golden Knights didnt have injured captain Mark Stone.Were trying to play our game, not worrying too much about countering off another team," Tortorella explained. "They feel very comfortable in it. Game 2 is Friday night in Denver.The Avalanche dropped their first game at home after winning five straight through the first two rounds. Wedgewood made 24 saves.It was kind of a nothing game, and then they got a few goals, Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon said. "Really good team, obviously, but I thought we did a lot of damage to ourselves. Just guys kind of everywhere. Execution, like I said, needs to be better. Obviously, were capable of being a lot better than that. Colorado tried some different combinations without Makar. It led to some confusion, with Coghlan sneaking into the middle of the ice and lining a shot through the pads of Wedgewood to break a scoreless game in the second period. There's definitely a trickle-down effect to that," Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said of not having Makar. But he's not playing. We have find a way. Coghlan has bounced around over his career, spending his first two seasons with Vegas before stints with Carolina and Winnipeg. He returned to the Golden Knights last July in part, he said, because of the bonds he'd formed.This is probably the best I've felt in my whole career, said Coghlan, who played in three regular-season games for Vegas this season. Whoever it is I'm playing with I'm very comfortable out there with them. They make it pretty easy on me. We have some pretty world-class players.The Golden Knights and Avalanche are meeting in a best-of-seven series for the second time. In 2021, Colorado won the opening two games of their second-round series before Vegas captured four straight. Definitely things we can get better at, Landeskog said. But we knew it was (going to) be a long series.___AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/stanley-cup and https://apnews.com/hub/nhl

Bryson DeChambeau has waded into conspiracy theory territory during a podcast chat with Katie Miller, wife of White House senior adviser Stephen Miller.The two-time major champion reckons humans did make it to the moon, but he's not convinced the footage we've all seen is genuine."I don't think the footage is real. But I think we did go to the moon. I don't know about the footage. It's quite, it's quite wild," DeChambeau said.The American golfer pointed to Elon Musk as shaping his thinking on the matter."Elon says we've definitely gone there. So I tend to go that route, because he's the man that knows quite a bit about all that," he explained.But the moon landing chat wasn't the only eyebrow-raising moment from the interview.DeChambeau, who studied physics at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, also shared his thoughts on extraterrestrial life."I do think that there are interdimensional beings out there, for sure," he said. "I do believe in UAPs [Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena]. "UAPs, UFOs, I think they're more than just aliens from another world. Maybe aliens from another world. But I think there's more. There's a lot more to that story."It's a fascinating position for someone with a science degree to take, though DeChambeau has always been known for his unconventional thinking.The podcast discussion was sparked by a question about astronaut Alan Shepard's famous golf shot on the lunar surface during the Apollo 14 mission in 1971.Shepard had secretly planned the stunt, working with Jack Harden, a professional at River Oaks Country Club in Texas, to create a custom club head.He smuggled a Wilson Staff Dyna-Power 6-iron head in his suit, with balls tucked away in a sock.After completing experiments on the surface, Shepard attached the iron to a rock-sampling tool and swung one-handed.His first attempts failed, but he eventually connected, famously declaring the ball had travelled "miles and miles and miles."Researcher Andy Saunders later revealed it actually went just 40 yards.DeChambeau also opened up about his uncertain future in the sport, with LIV Golf facing questions after Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund announced plans to pull funding."I'm in that weird space right now, I don't know what to do, either: Content creation or professional golf," he admitted.The golfer has built a substantial YouTube following and suggested he might focus on that if LIV collapses.His form on the course has dipped recently, missing the cut at both the Masters and US PGA Championship.As for his friendship with Donald Trump, DeChambeau revealed the president "gives me a lot of crap about pickles, actually."Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
