Braeden Bowman (born June 26, 2003) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player who is a right winger for the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Playing career

After beginning in youth hockey in his hometown of Kitchener with the Jr. Rangers and Dutchmen, Bowman played major junior hockey with the Guelph Storm of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), serving as captain in his final year with the team. After attending development camp with the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the summer of 2024, Bowman began his professional career in signing a one-year contract with Vegas' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Henderson Silver Knights, on July 9, 2024.[1] In the midst of what would ultimately be a 14-goal, 36-point rookie campaign across 68 games played in the 2024–25 season, Bowman later signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Golden Knights on March 2, 2025.[2] The following season, after posting 12 points in his first 12 games with Henderson, Bowman was recalled to Vegas' roster on November 12, 2025, due to an injury to William Karlsson.[3] He subsequently made his NHL debut on November 13, registering 4 shots in a 4–3 overtime loss to the New York Islanders.[4] Two nights later, on November 15, Bowman scored his first NHL goal against Joel Hofer of the St. Louis Blues, which would ultimately be the game-winning goal in a 4–1 Golden Knights victory.[5] This goal marked the beginning of a scoring streak for Bowman, as he proceeded to score three more goals and his first NHL assist in his next four games, for a total of five points through his first six NHL games;[6] he also posted a five-game point streak from his third through eighth games, becoming the first undrafted rookie to post such a streak since Taro Hirose in the 2018–19 season.[7]
