Mikael Granlund and Ian Moore also found the net for Anaheim. Goaltender Lukas Dostal turned aside 18 shots, and Cutter Gauthier notched three assists.
Pavel Dorofeyev, Brett Howden, and Tomas Hertl replied for Vegas. Goaltender Carter Hart made 19 saves, while Mitch Marner collected three assists.
With the score tied 2-2 late in the second period, Killorn delivered Anaheim’s third lead of the night on their second power-play goal of the game. He gathered the puck at the bottom of the right circle and squeezed a shot past the goalie with 2:02 left in the period. The Ducks had been 0-for-11 on the power play in the first three games of the series.
Moore extended the lead early in the third period, scoring his first career playoff goal just 3:43 in with a point shot shortly after Anaheim killed a penalty.
Hertl ended a 29-game goal drought dating back to early March by poking a loose puck into the net with 64 seconds left in regulation, cutting the deficit to one. But the Golden Knights couldn’t complete the comeback.
Anaheim, looking to rebound from a Game 3 loss, started strong. Sennecke opened the scoring at 8:43 of the first period with a power-play blast from the top of the right circle. Dorofeyev answered with a power-play goal of his own midway through the period after Dostal couldn’t control a point shot, and Dorofeyev pounced on the rebound.
Granlund restored the lead five minutes later, picking up a turnover in the slot and seeing his shot deflect off a defender’s stick and past Hart.
Vegas tied it again at 4:04 of the second period when William Karlsson slipped a nifty pass to the front of the net for Howden, who easily converted.
The Golden Knights were without captain Mark Stone, who suffered an undisclosed injury late in the first period of Game 3. Brandon Saad entered the lineup in his place.
Game 5 is set for Tuesday in Vegas.
