Tahoe Knight Monsters News Release

STATELINE, NV - The Tahoe Knight Monsters, proud ECHL Affiliate of the NHL's Vegas Golden Knights and the AHL's Henderson Silver Knights, fell to the Rapid City Rush for the second-straight game 4-1.

In the first period, neither team could find the back of the net as fans were treated to a goaltender's duel between Cameron Whitehead and Arsenii Sergeev.

In the second period, it was Adam Pitters striking on the power play for Tahoe to give the Knight Monsters a 1-0 lead heading into the final 20 minutes of play.

The third period is where the Rush took control of the game. It took Rapid City just 19 seconds to tie the game off a goal from Rasmus Ekström, which made it 1-1. At the 9:25 mark of the period, Xavier Bernard found the back of the net for the second consecutive game to put the Rush up by 1. After empty-net goals from Ryan Chyzowski and Cameron Buhl, the Rush walked out of Stateline with a 4-1 Friday night victory.

Rapid City's Sergeev played lights out in net, stopping 38 of 39 Tahoe shots. Sergeev picked up his team-leading fifth win with his effort.

The Knight Monsters return home on Saturday, December 6, to take on the Rapid City Rush at Tahoe Blue Event Center for Teddy Bear Toss Night presented by Richard Harris Law Firm. Puck drop is at 7:00 pm, with pregame coverage on the Knight Monsters broadcast network beginning at 6:50 pm. Ticket packages for the 2025-26 season are now available.
