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

A late, third-period comeback by the Golden Knights fell short Thursday night in VGK's 4-3 loss in Boston.  The Golden Knights dug a 4 goal deficit after the Bruins scored twice on a power play in which Tomas Hertl was called for a double minor high sticking penalty. VGK trailed 4-0 after two periods, but VGK had a three-goal outburst in the third period, one in which they outshot Boston 20-5.  VG...

The Golden Knights will begin a pivotal road trip in Boston tonight with or without new addition Rasmus Andersson, who was having immigration issues earlier this week. It was a battle between VGK and Boston for Andersson and we could see some hard feelings by the Bruins.  This will be the front end of a back-to-back for the Golden Knights, who will try to not look ahead to the rematch with Toronto...

VGK will miss six players until after the Olympic break according to GM Kelly McCrimmon. Four players have been called up to replace them, but VGK is going to need role players who also can get into the scoring column.  Missing are Bret Howden, Colton Sissons, Beandon Saad, Carter Hart, Brayden McNabb and William Karlsson, who has been out since November.  VGK is also awaiting the arrival of Rasmu...

VGK had its win streak snapped at seven games after going 1 for 7 on the power play against a struggling Flyers team, which came into the game with a six-game losing streak.  The Flyers had two breakaway goals by Travis Konecny off turnovers by Tomas Hertl and Jack Eichel.  VGK's lone goal came on Hertl's 20th goal of the season.  The Golden Knights played "casual" according to head coach Bruce Ca...

Shea Theodo...

It was a comeback for the ages at T-Mobile Arena Thursday night.  The Golden Knights rallied from two goals down on four occasions, tied the game on a Tomas Hertl goal with just :07 remaining in regulation, and walked off its sixth straight win on Jack Eichel's overtime goal.  It has to be one of the top games ever played in T-Mobile Arena as VGK prevailed 6-5.  Mitch Marner played against his for...

The Golden Knights gutted out a gritty win over the L.A. Kings in overtime Wednesday night in overtime 3-2.  They won it on Mark Stone's OT goal just seconds into the extra period.  Jack Eichel assisted on all three VGK goals in the victory to run the win streak to five games for the Golden Knights.  Mitch Marner scored a goal in the VGK win then set his sights towards tonight's matchup against hi...

VGK looks for its fifth straight win tonight vs the Kings in L.A. The Kings are a team in disarray, they have lost 11 of their last 16 and can't score goals. They have the same issues as VGK had earlier this season with a lack of consistent scoring and no depth scoring.  Head Coach Jim Hiller is on the hot seat. We update VGK's injuries and we have Locks, Props and Chance for tonight's game.  Host...

Coming off a career-best five-point game in San Jose, VGK's Tomas Hertl was named the NHL's First Star of the Week.  Hertl had 9 points over four games and scored three goals. We discuss whether VGK will make a trade before the Olympic Freeze Feb. 4 through 22.  And VGK has a 4-2 record to start the New Year.  The Golden Knights typically have a "dry January" one they are hoping to reverse this se...

But Reilly Smith scored twice, Jac...

VGK goes back to work in its home barn Thursday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets, a team that also has a lot of injured players.  VGK won the first meeting in Columbus 3-2 as they had to come from behind.  The slow starts have been hurting VGK according to Reilly Smith. Sometimes it makes it difficult for VGK to battle back from behind when they are chasing the game.  Columbus won four of s...

The Golden Knights rallied from a 2-0 deficit to force overtime on a Reilly Smith goal, then won the game late on a Tomas Hertl power play goal.  VGK gave up a goal on two turnovers on the same play and also allowed a goal from the "blue line" according to Bruce Cassidy.  Hertl scored the goal on a deflection of a shot from the point by Mitch Marner.  Mark Stone scored a goal for a fifth straight...

 The Golden Knights are suffering through a franchise low nine game stretch in which they have won just once at 1-5-3.  Bruce Cassidy cited his team's lack of emotion following yet another overtime loss, this time in Chicago, 3-2.  Cassidy said "enough is enough" in the post-game presser. He feels that he can only do so much when it comes to accountability and locker room leaders have to step up. ...

The Golden Knights need to break out of their slump, losing five of their last six games, as they travel to St. Louis and Chicago this weekend.  The two Central Division foes are on the outside looking in for a Wild Card spot, but they are close in the standings.  St Louis has a -42 goal differential.  The Golden Knights should win both games.  The Blackhawks are still without Connor Bedard. We re...

The Golden Knights led 2-0 after nine minutes Wednesday, but the next five minutes belonged to the Nashville Predators.  The Preds scored three times over the next five minutes enroute to a 4-2 victory over VGK.  The Golden Knights have dropped five of their last six games. Bruce Cassidy was miffed postgame about all the long-range goals VGK has given up the past few games.  He said the team isn't...

Tomas Hertl was ejected after getting a game misconduct for a boarding penalty on Ryan Hartman that drew blood just 2:13 into the game and that hurt the center depth on a night when the Golden Knights struggled offensively.  Then on the defensive end, Carter Hart the and VGK defense couldn't stop the puck as Minnesota romped past the Golden Knights 5-2.  The crazy stat of the game was that the Wil...

VGK lost a point late in regulation when Arturri Lehkonen tied the score up late with two minutes remaining as the Golden Knights squandered two-goal leads twice and fell in a shootout to the Avalanche 6-5 in a shootout.  You could see why the Avs are the top team in the league, as they twice erased two-goal leads.  The Avalanches were also beneficiaries of three goals that were deflected of VGK p...

How will the Golden Knights slow down the high-flying Avalanche Saturday night.  The Avs have lost just twice in regulation and are 27-2-7 overall, off to one of the best starts in NHL history.  Colorado is putting up ridiculous number - Nathan MacKinnon is the Avs leading scorer with 30 goals already and 61 points through 36 games - he is also a plus-45 when he is on the ice.  VGK still hasn't an...

The Golden Knights saw six different players score goals in a 7-2 rout over the Sharks.  Mitch Marner scored two of the goals for VGK.  He has six points in the last three games.
