Locked On Golden Knights - Daily Podcast On the Vegas Golden Knights

The Golden Knights made several moves Tuesday in advance of their trip to Canada. Ben Hutton was placed on LTIR. Jonas Rondbjorg, Cal Burke and Mason Morelli were called up from Henderson. Mark Stone was placed on retroactive I-R and could play this week. VGK plays its first of five road games tonight in Toronto. The Maple Leafs are off to a great start, but will be playing without Austin Matthews...

The Golden Knights face a difficult road trip with five in a row away from T-Mobile Arena. They kickoff the trip Wednesday, the first end of a road back-to-back. They will play at Toronto then Ottawa in consecutive nights. The Golden Knights also face Montreal, Philadelphia and Colorado on the roadie. We have VGK injury updates and our points predictions for the team on the road swing. Hosted by S...

Alex Ovechkin scored a hat trick and former VGK goalie Logan Thompson turned back 40 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Washington Capitals. VGK's goals came off the sticks of Brett Howden and Keegan Kolesar. Thompson had a long tribute that made him emotional, as he faced his former team for the first time at T-Mobile Arena. We also talked about what the VGK goalie rotation might be on the upcomin...

The Golden Knights travel to Utah Friday night for the first time against the Utah HC. VGK defeated Utah earlier this season and will be looking for back-to-back road wins, something they have yet to accomplish in the early part of the campaign. It's also WTF day.

The Golden Knights improved to 10-0-1 on Dad's Trips as they welcomed their fathers to the first leg of the road trip 3-2 over the pesky Ducks. VGK got goals from Pavel Dorofeyev, Tomas Hertl and Nic Roy in the victory. The Golden Knights won for just the 2nd time on the road this season. And it was Bruce Cassidy's first win in Anaheim. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.ads...

Coming off perhaps their worst loss of the season, the Golden Knights travel to Anaheim tonight hoping to get back on track against the bottom-feeding Ducks. VGK was dominated by the Canes 5-2 this week for its first home loss of the season in nine games. Now it's back on the road for VGK, where they only have one win this season. The Golden Knights beat the Ducks at home earlier this season, 3-1....

The Carolina Hurricanes dominated the Golden Knights Monday night at the Fortress 5-2 to break VGK's 8-game, season-opening win streak on home ice. VGK trailed 2-0 out of the chute at the end of the first period. The Golden Knights gave up two more goals in the 2nd period. And, that was enough for Bruce Cassidy to pull starting goaltender Adin Hill for newcomer Akira Schmid. Hil gave up 4 goals on...

Fresh off a 3-point road trip, the Golden Knights return to T-Mobile Arena Monday night. VGK will try to run their home record to 9-0 to start the season as they face the Carolina Hurricanes. The Canes had their 8 game win streak snapped Saturday night in Colorado. The Golden Knights had to rally late on Friday night in Seattle to force overtime on an Alex Pietrangelo goal at 18:38. But their seco...

The Golden Knights are the hot team, having won 6 of 7 and the Seattle Kraken are the cold team, losers of four straight. Former VGK center Chandler Stephenson has 9 points in 14 games for Seattle. This will be the first meeting since he received a seven-year contract from the Kraken over the summer. Could we see Akira Schmid in net for the first time this season in tonight's game between the pipe...

The Golden Knights came-from-behind for a 4-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers in Alberta last night. Noah Hanifin scored twice including the game-winner. Aiden Hill turned away 27 shots on net in what might have been one of his top performances of the season. VGK won on the road for the first time this season in five games away from home. Conner McDavid returned to the Oilers lineup, after being side...

The Golden Knights will try to get their first road win of the season tonight in Edmonton against the rival Oilers, who have won the past two meetings against VGK. The Golden Knights have started off the season at 0-3-1 on the road. The Oilers have been playing without superstar Connor McDavid (ankle.) He returned to the ice Monday, and VGK could see him in the Oil lineup tonight. The Oilers have...

The Golden Knights ran their home record to 8-0 Saturday night, but they had to come from behind and steal the win in overtime. Brett Howden potted the game-winner. VGK trailed 2-0 in the second period before Pavel Dorofeyev and Noah Hanifin goals. It was Hanifin's first goal of the season and it came with under a second left on the clock in the second period. William Karlsson also scored for the...

The Golden Knights will entertain Utah for the first-ever regular season meeting at the Fortress Saturday night. Utah started out the season at 3-0 but since is 2-4-2. They broke a 4-game losing streak with a win over the Flames earlier this week. The HC lost two key blueliners until after the New Year - Sean Durzi and John Marino both had recent surgeries. We also talk about Brendan Brisson being...

The Golden Knights remain winless after what Bruce Cassidy called a "sloppy" effort in Los Angeles Wednesday night. VGK lost 6-3 to the Kings to remain winless away from home. The Golden Knights are 7-0 at home but 0-3-1 away from the Fortress. The Kings took control early in the game, built a 4-0 lead, and never looked back. The goals for VGK: Pavel Dorofeyev found the back of the net twice, form...

The Golden Knights are hoping for the same result as they had against the Kings a week ago in Las Vegas, when they won 6-1, as VGK travels to L.A. this time for tonight's game. The Golden Knights Tomas Hertl had a breakout game in the initial meeting with two goals and a four point game. Alex Pietrangelo and Mark Stone each had three point wins in that game. The Golden Knights are 0-2-1 on the roa...

Adin Hill stopped all 16 shots he faced and the Golden Knights fourth line put away the Flames by scoring three goals in the final period (2 for Kolesar, 1 Nic Roy) in Monday's 5-0 shutout win over Calgary. VGK remains undefeated at home at 7-0 and they swept the four game homestand. Kolesar and Roy had three-point games. Hill played well behind the defense, which blocked 23 shots last night. We t...

The Golden Knights come off back-to-back wins over the weekend to remain undefeated at home. VGK came from behind in the matinee Friday vs Ottawa. They trailed 4-3 in that game before a three goal outburst in the game's final 4 1/2 minutes. The Golden Knights had goals from Tomas Hertl on the power play, then Keegan Kolesar potted the game winner, followed by an ENG by Ivan Barbeshev for a 6-4 win...

We were among those who were surprised VGK signed defenseman Shea Theodore to a 7-year, $51.975-million contract extension on Thursday. Theodore was in a contract year. In his last 82 games, the blueliner has 71 points. VGK is hoping Theodore stays healthy this season. We preview the two Golden Knights upcoming games this weekend. And, it's that time for WTF with fan comments. Hosted by Simplecast...

We give our opinions of what VGK line combinations might look like when William Karlsson returns this weekend. The Golden Knights have center depth and it will be interesting to see what players are slotted in on Karlsson's line. We also discuss a Hockey News article that asks if the Golden Knights would possibly trade a defenseman to Utah, a team which is down two star players until after the New...

Tomas Hertl, the "Turtle" came out of his shell Tuesday night by scoring four points for the fourth time in his career, including two goals in a 6-1 win over the LA Kings. LA at times looked like a team that was playing its seventh straight road game. Mark Stone had three points, Pavel Dodofeyev had a two point night. And, Ivan Barbeshev had his five goal of the season. The Golden Knights played w...

It appears Bruce Cassidy is changing the VGK defensive pairings after the Shea Theodore-Alex Pietrangelo experiment apparently failed. The new lines at Monday's practice were Noah Hanifin and Alex Pietrangelo, Braydon McNabb-Theodore and Hague-Whitecloud stays in tact. Our Chris Gawlik said earlier Monday that he felt the lines could be switched. Also at Monday's practice, William Karlsson, skated...

VGK's road trip ended with an 0-2-1 record. The Golden Knights lost Saturday to the Florida Panthers on an O.T. goal with 16.2 seconds remaining. VGK blew another lead, they were up 3-2, before the game was tied in regulation and Gustav Forsling's overtime walk-off. VGK Was outshot 49-26 in the game. Ilya Samsonov saved 45 of those shots. Is this version of VGK what we all expected? Where is secon...

The Golden Knights gave up two goals in the final 2:22 in Thursday's loss at Tampa Bay 4-3. VGK allowed the Lightning to get through the neutral zone late and Nikita Kucherov scored the game-winner with just :55 to go. VGK again relied too much on its top line, which now has 27 points through five games and 10 for Jack Eichel. Stone and Eichel had assists on a Brayden McNabb goal in the contest. B...

The Golden Knights will play their second game of the early-season three-game road trip Thursday night in Tampa. The Lightning are 2-0 so far and replaced Steven Stamkos with Jake Guentzel this off-season. As we point out, Guentzel has scored 12 points (five goals) in 11 games vs VGK. The Lightning are hoping to replace Samkos' 40 points including 19 on the power play. VGK will play tonight's game...
