With 2 goals by Shea Theodore, the first a power-play goal and the second coming with Robin Lehner on the bench for the extra skater with just 48 seconds left on the clock, the VGK swept the entire 4-game road trip with yet another 65-minute game that needed yet another shootout before beating the NY Islanders […]

Knights on Ice — How Do You Beat the NY Rangers...
Brett Howden was acquired from the NY Rangers on July 17 of this year. The last goal he scored came a month ago on Nov16 vs. Carolina in a game that the VGK lost 4-2. Last night he scored the first VGK goal and assisted on Dylan Coghlan’s late 3rd period goal for the VGK […]
Knights on Ice — The VGK Survive a Potential 3r...
Just 1:41 into last night’s game, the Devils’ newly signed UFA Dougie Hamilton’s slap shot from the point created a juicy rebound off Robin Lehner’s right pad. It was scooped up by Jack Hughes after Brayden McNabb lost his defensive coverage. Hughes had swept in from the top of the faceoff circle and beat Lehner, […]
Knights on Ice — Time To Crush The Beans
The VGK had never won a hockey game in Boston, prior to last night’s dominating win over the Boston Bruins at TD Arena by a score of 4-1. The SPS Line — Stone, Pacioretty, and Stephenson — is just lighting it up and making it all but impossible for head coach Pete DeBoer to even […]
Knights on Ice — Career Highs, a Franchise Reco...
If you thought the absence of Chandler Stephenson on Friday night against the Philadelphia Flyers wasn’t a big deal, last night you could not help but notice how important he has become to this team. His speed alone forces opposing players to back up and quickly if they have any intention of slowing him down […]
Knights on Ice — When It Comes To The VGK Power...
Yes, the situation remains normal when it comes to the VGK special teams and it’s actually becoming worse. I warned you in my last post after the Dallas Stars game when I wrote this. Warning. Warning. Warning. The next game is tomorrow against the Philadelphia Flyers at T-Mobile at 7 p.m. Pacific Time. The VGK have to be careful not to look past […]
Knights on Ice — The PP and PK Suck the Air out...
It was headed in the wrong direction quickly last night at T-Mobile. The Dallas Stars had 3 power-play goes on just 3 shots against a team that has one of the best PK units in the league, especially at T-Mobile. Robin Lehner was yanked from the net after giving up 3 goals on just 10 […]
Knights on Ice — VGK Shows Just How Deep They R...
Last night at T-Mobile, the VGK played an important divisional game against the Calgary Flames who currently are in first place and started the evening 9 rather large points in front of the VGK. But for the first time in all but 2 games this season, the VGK finally had all top-6 forwards in the […]
Knights on Ice — Quality Over Quantity
In Wednesday’s loss to the Anaheim Ducks, the VGK lost despite scoring 2 power-play goals and 2 shorthanded goals. Last night the VGK scored only 1 PPG and 1 SHG on the way to a dominating performance, beating the Arizona Coyotes 7-1. The onslaught started with the patience of Nicolas Roy and Jonathan Marchessault on […]
Knights on Ice — In Spite Of, Notwithstanding, ...
Whichever you prefer, the results will be the same when you’re using these words to describe last night’s Vegas Golden Knights game vs. Anaheim, that Vegas, despite scoring 2 power play-goals and 2 shorthanded goals, somehow found a way to lose by a score of 6-5. It was a strange game, as the unlikely occurrence […]
