The Golden Knights blanked the Calgary Flames for a second time this season on home ice. This time it was Ilya Samsonov who shut out the Flames 3-0 on 31 shots. Both he and Calgary goalie Dan Vladar were locked into a duel before Brett Howden broke the ice with 4:01 to go in the second period. That became the game winner. Samsonov had to withstand a lengthy penalty kill after back-to-back penaltie...

VGK ranks 20th currently in expected goals 5v5 and third in power play scoring. (They are still ranked third despite a recent 1-for-19 slide btw.) Have the Golden Knights recently become too reliant on their power play unit? We address that question on the show. VGK is returning to health so where does Nic Roy fit in when he returns? And is the Golden Knights soft schedule going to come back and b...

Ivan Barbashev did not practice with VGK Tuesday. Bruce Cassidy said the team's leading scorer is listed as day-to-day. Barbashev was injured when he was tangled with the Wild's Marcus Foligno on Sunday. He played five minutes up to that point and didn't return to the ice. We talk about who might slot in if Barbashev is out for an extended period of time. Is VGK's defense evolving into the best in...

Keegan Kolesar became the fourth Golden Knights player to receive a contract extension this season, when he signed a new three-year deal last week. The Golden Knights have signed Shea Theodore, Brett Howden and Brayden McNabb this Fall. We also discuss who is up for contract renewal and who we believe will be the next Golden Knights player to receive an extension. And we talk about contenders and...

We breakdown the two weekend games for VGK - the loss on Saturday to Edmonton and Sunday's win at Minnesota. VGK had a successful road trip winning two of three overall. The Golden Knights hung on for a 3-2 win over the Wild on Sunday. Victor Olofsson scored twice, and had another goal against EDM, in the win. The game ended with a 6-on-4 for Minnesota but a mad scramble in front of the VGK net ha...

VGK continued its dominance over the Winnipeg Jets Thursday night with a 3-2 road win. The Golden Knights have now won eight straight meetings against the Jets. VGK won the game in O-T after the Jets made a bad line change, which keyed a two-on-one rush. Shea Theodore found Ivan Barbeshev, who tallied the game winner. VGK has also won four straight and Adin Hill has run his record to 7-1-1 in his...

VGK hits the road tonight in Winnipeg. The Golden Knights have won three straight games and had a nice week of rest following the victory over Dallas at the Fortress last Friday. Mark Stone returned in that game and hopes to continue to fuel the power play, which scored twice in the Stars game. VGK did not see Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck in the first meeting, won by VGK 4-3. The Golden Knigh...

Adin Hill has been spectacular of late. His play last week earned him the NHL 3rd Star. He went 2-0, had a goal against, a .971 save percentage and a shutout. He has stopped 66 of 68 shots overall. The VGK defense has turned it up, but Hill has played well in net. We also talk more about the Logan Thompson snub from Team Canada. And Zach Whitecloud should be ready to re-join the VGK lineup soon. H...

Mark Stone returned and the Golden Knights scored twice on the power play Friday in the 3-2 win over the Stars. Stone had an assist to Tomas Hertl on the first power play goal. And he was on the top man advantage unit when Jack Eichel also scored. VGK had been 1-18 on the power play before Stone returned. We talk about VGK's top line and whether its scoring is sustainable. And we talk about hardwa...

The Golden Knights host Dallas Friday night in a rematch of last season's playoff series. The Stars will be without one of their key pieces as Tyler Seguin will be out for 4-6 months following hip surgery. Second year player Logan Stankoven will take his place on the second line. VGK might have turned the corner defensively after locking down on Edmonton and Anaheim. We have our Locks of the Knigh...

Three Golden Knights broke their goalless streaks in the win over Anaheim 4-1 Wednesday night. Shea Theodore broke a 24 game streak and later added an empty nett18th time against the Golden Knightser. Alexander Holtz scored his first goal in 20 games.

Adin Hill stopped 28 shots and Ivan Barbeshev's first period goal was the only marker of the game as VGK shut out Edmonton 1-0 at the Fortress Tuesday night. Barbeshev scored on a 2-on-1 beating Stuart Skinner at 10:47 of the first period. That was the lone penalty in the game and neither team committed a penalty in the contest. Credit the VGK defense which played in waves in the contest. The Gold...

The Edmonton Oilers visit T-Mobile Arena Tuesday night. An Oilers victory and two points, would put them close to VGK. They would trail the Golden Knights by just three points. This is an important four-point game. VGK beat Edmonton on the road in the first meeting when Noah Hannifin scored twice. VGK erupted for three goals in the final period to put the game away. Adin Hill stopped 27 ot 29 shot...

Bruce Cassidy could tell his team might be running on fumes before VGK's 6-0 loss at home Saturday night. He said the team was pretty tired following nine days on the road and just a day off before playing a back to back. VGK beat Winnipeg on Friday night as Brett Howden and Ivan Barbeshev each scored twice. But the following night was a different story. The Golden Knights, behind shotty goaltendi...

We have our What The Turkey segment...

The Golden Knights can close out the five-game road trip strong with a win in Denver tonight. VGK will face the Avalanche, a team they beat on opening night 8-4.

We aren't sure if Alex Pietrangelo is on the...

The Golden Knights came back from three goals down on Monday night in Philadelphia to win in a shootout 5-4. The Golden Knights have six points on the current road swing with a game remaining in Colorado. Jack Eichel potted the game-winner, scored a goal in regulation and had an assist.

VGK bounced back from Wednesday's loss in Toronto by beating the Ottawa Senators for a second time this season, 3-2, on the road. The Golden Knights had Jack Eichel, Brett Howden and Pavel Dorofeyev score goals. And, Ilya Samsonov stopped 38 of 40 shots to win his "grudge match" against Linus Ullmark. Howden has equaled last season's goal total with eight. Dorofeyev has scored 10 goals to take the...

The Golden Knights were shutout for the first time this season as they fell to the Maple Leafs in Toronto 3-0. Joseph Woll stopped 31 VGK shots in the game. It was a night of big hits to start the road trip. The Golden Knights have dropped four of their last six games and were 0-3 on the man advantage. We could see fireworks tonight, on the tail end of the back-to-back. It's a grudge match between...
