By the headline, you’d be correct in assuming that the VGK had a good night at T-Mobile against the Edmonton Oilers. But that didn’t happen. The VGK self-imploded in the last 2 minutes and 10 seconds of the first period, allowing Edmonton to score twice on their last 2 shots of the period. Robin Lehner […]

Knights on Ice — One Step Closer
Granted, it may be just baby steps, but slowly, the VGK are getting their players back into the game. Last night Max Pacioretty returned from a fractured foot and William Carrier returned to the lineup in last night’s 5-2 victory over the Nashville Predators. Pacioretty had been out since Oct. 14 and Carrier since Nov […]
Knights on Ice — It Took Just 2:15
The VGK have had first-period woes this season, but seemed to eradicate them when Chandler Stephenson scored just 36 seconds into the game, followed by Reilly Smith scoring his 6th goal in the last 7 games at the 6:50 mark of the first period for an unexpected and quick 2-0 lead. But in just 2:15, […]
Knights on Ice — 40 Minutes
The VGK’s 1st period starts have been suspect, along with their powerless power play and once again a slow start put them in an early hole in last night’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Columbus scored just 45 seconds into the game on a goal by Gustav Nyquist; then Alexandre Texier added a shorthanded […]
Knights on Ice —Knights Define Resiliency
Yesterday, the VGK did not even have a morning skate, which is the norm for a game day. In the morning, they were down 11 players to injuries, COVID, or surgery. Yet somehow, this team refuses to let anything get in its way. Not even the Detroit Red Wings, who had never lost at T-Mobile. […]

After last night’s loss to the Carolina Hurricanes at T-Mobile by the score of 4-2, Captain Mark Stone was asked if he and the team could take any solace in knowing that the VGK overcame a 2-0 first-period lead by scoring 2 goals in the second period to tie the game with a lineup that’s […]
Knights on Ice — It Wasn’t Pretty, but It Sure ...
The Vancouver Canucks came roaring out of their locker room and scored the first 2 goals on just 4 shots in 5:56 of the first period for a quick 2-0 lead in last night’s game at T-Mobile. But the Vegas Golden Knights responded by scoring 7 of the next 9 goals for the 7-4 win. […]
Knights on Ice — VGK Draft Picks and the Penalt...
It’s rare to talk about VGK draft picks, unless in the context of the multiple trades that the VGK have made in their history. Numerous draft picks have been shipped off to other teams as the VGK continue to load up on star players in their quest to bring the Stanley Cup to Las Vegas. […]
Knights on Ice — VGK Krack Open the Game in the...
The VGK cracked opened the game last night against the Seattle Kraken with two 3rd period goals by Reilly Smith just 46 seconds apart to break a 2-2 tie and go on to a 4-2 win. The VGK opened the season with a win against the Kraken, then proceeded to lose the next 4 games […]
Knights on Ice — VGK Special Teams Blow a Gaske...
The VGK arrived in Detroit with a chance to conclude their road trip like a fine-tuned Ferrari engine. A win yesterday would have closed this 4-game road trip by winning 3 of the 4 games and 6 of their last 7, all while playing with a depleted lineup. But they blew a gasket, especially on […]
