**Oilers Fall to Golden Knights Despite McDavid's Effort** In a hard-fought battle at T-Mobile Arena, the Edmonton Oilers were unable to overcome the Vegas Golden Knights, falling 3-1 on Monday night. **Marchessault's Hat Trick Propels Vegas** Golden Knights forward Jonathan Marchessault stole the show in the second period, netting a natural hat trick in just 4:13 of play time. His first goal came at 3:48, followed by another at 5:34, and the third just seconds later at 6:35. Marchessault's quick strikes gave Vegas a commanding 3-0 lead heading into the locker room. **Oilers' McDavid Scores Consolation Goal** Despite Marchessault's dominance, Oilers captain Connor McDavid refused to go down without a fight. He netted Edmonton's lone goal at 16:52 of the third period, assisted by Tyson Barrie and Zach Hyman. However, it proved to be too little, too late for the Oilers. **Hill and Stephenson Impress** Vegas goaltender Adin Hill was a force in net for the Golden Knights, stopping 30 of 31 shots faced. Chandler Stephenson also made his presence felt, scoring the go-ahead goal early in the second period and logging an assist. **Oilers' Struggles Continue** With the loss, the Oilers extend their winless streak to three games. They now sit at 12-9-5 this season, while the Golden Knights improve to 15-9-1. **Upcoming Matchups** The Oilers will look to bounce back on Wednesday night when they host the Anaheim Ducks at Rogers Place. The Golden Knights, meanwhile, will travel to face the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night.
