Ken’s Three VGK Stars
*** William Carrier
** Nicolas Roy
* Mark Stone
Just the game the Golden Knights needed. Let one up first, but then completely took over the game the rest of the way. Dominant effort to wash away the memory of the disaster that was Friday.

The message after the last game was clearly sent. After a pedestrian road trip and a miserable home game on Friday, VGK put in the best period of the season.
They were way more aggressive all over the ice, especially the 4th line and defense, and it showed up in a big way.

Golden Knights look like a completely different team tonight defending the blue line on zone entries. All 6 guys actively challenging just about every entry.
