TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS 6 VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 3 (31-24-4 66 PTS)

By

On February 14, 2019

In Game Recaps

Vegas spent a majority of the 1st period in the box taking three penalties in the last nine minutes of the period. Toronto’s lethal power play capitalized and got on the board first. The Golden Knights did well to storm back scoring shorthanded by Paul Stastny and another by Oscar Lindberg. But the Leafs wouldn’t be held down long scoring a pair of their own in the 2nd. Vegas came back and tied it again at three with a William Karlsson tap in on a brilliant pass from Jon Merrill. Once again though, the defense couldn’t hold against one of the league’s best offenses giving up three straight to drop their fifth straight at home and eight of the last 11. Yikes.

ARIZONA COYOTES 5 VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 2 (31-23-4 66 PTS)

By

On February 12, 2019

In Game Recaps

A rather uneventful 1st period came and went without a goal. Vegas controlled possession and dominated in shots through the 1st, but couldn’t beat Darcy Kuemper. An offensive explosion occurred in the 2nd period with a pair of goals by each team. Arizona got the first two but Vegas stormed back with goals from Brandon Pirri and Nate Schmidt. However, the Coyotes took hold of the game with a goal midway through the 3rd and then another late. A solid effort, but once again the Golden Knights come up short, which is becoming a disturbing trend.

COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS 4 VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 3 (31-22-4 66 PTS)

In Game Recaps

A wide open first period had scoring chances aplenty both ways. Columbus struck first with a deflection goal that just slid past the line, but moments later the Golden Knights answered with a wacky hop bounce goal of their own from Nate Schmidt. Then, on a Blue Jacket power play, Reilly Smith and William Karlsson led the charge down the ice and Jon Merrill put home the loose change. A strong 2nd by Columbus put Vegas on their heels defending for a majority of the frame. Marc-Andre Fleury’s misplay off the boards helped Artemi Panarin tie the game at two. A Cody Eakin tally put Vegas back in front, but another spill by Fleury helped Cam Atkinson tie it. On the power play, Atkinson scored another one. The Golden Knights couldn’t get anything on net with the empty net and dropped a heartbreaking one.

  • A deeper dive into the difference between when VGK gets through the neutral zone clean and when they don’t. (Assuming my eyes didn’t deceive me when I watch this game again)

VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 4 DETROIT RED WINGS 3 (31-21-4 66 PTS)

By

On February 7, 2019

In Game Recaps

A disjointed 1st period for the Golden Knights led to the Red Wings having a majority of the possession. A fluky goal by Detroit put them ahead, but the Golden Knights got going quickly in the 2nd. Alex Tuch drew a penalty quickly which led toa Jonathan Marchessault power play goal. Then, the floodgates opened a bit as Vegas tacked on two more, another from Marchessault and one from William Karlsson. Marc-Andre Fleury sprung into action as the period wound down making multiple terrific saves. Detroit scored one to cut the lead to one, but a nice Brayden McNabb rush led to a tip and a goal.

VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 3 TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING 2 (30-21-4 64 PTS) – SO (1-0)

By

On February 5, 2019

In Game Recaps

The Golden Knights couldn’t stay out of the box in the 1st period taking three uncharacteristic penalties. Schmidt (0 on season), Karlsson (5 on season), and Smith (3 on season) each took a penalty. Tampa Bay scored on one of them. The Golden Knights got a PP of their own and squandered it not getting even a single shot. The Golden Knights battled through multiple penalty kills to eventually tie the game at two. Valentin Zykov scored the tying goal. Vegas had a power play to end regulation and one to end OT but couldn’t get one to go. Alex Tuch came up huge in the shootout recording the only goal.

FLORIDA PANTHERS 3 VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 1 (29-21-4 62 PTS)

By

On February 2, 2019

In Game Recaps

Florida scored just 12 seconds into the game on a break started by a collision from Paul Stastny and Shea Theodore. An individual effort by Max Pacioretty tied the game up in the 1st. A fast-paced 2nd period came and went without any goals. A turnover in the offensive zone by Jonathan Marchessault led to a bad pinch from Shea Theodore and a poor defensive effort from William Karlsson to allow the game-winning goal.

CAROLINA HURRICANES 5 VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 2 (29-20-4 62 PTS)

By

On February 1, 2019

In Game Recaps

An early penalty put the Golden Knights on the power play which they cashed in on with a Shea Theodore goal eerily similar to the one he scored against Pittsburgh. Carolina came right back creating chances left and right before getting one to go on a great kick pass from Justin Williams to Nino Niederreiter. A miserable error by Max Lagace to start the period led to the Hurricanes first lead. Vegas battled through a poorly played period to tie it at two but less than a minute later Carolina retook the lead again. The Golden Knights couldn’t get anything going in the 3rd as they conceded an early goal to go down a pair. An empty netter late sealed it.

NASHVILLE PREDATORS 2 VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 1 (29-19-4 62 PTS)

By

On January 23, 2019

In Game Recaps

Vegas struck first using a strong 1st period effort. An excellent goal that touched the sticks of all three linemates was finished off by Max Pacioretty. However, another series of lapses in their own end led to consecutive goals by the Predators to take the lead. The Golden Knights peppered shots at Saros all night long, but could not find the equalizer. It’s the first time they’ve lost two straight at home in regulation all season.

MINNESOTA WILD 4 VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 2 (29-18-4 62 PTS)

By

On January 21, 2019

In Game Recaps

A sloppy 1st period in which only 11 total shots on goal were taken resulted in a 1-0 lead for Vegas on a PP goal from Alex Tuch. A missed wide-open net on a rolling puck by Brandon Pirri kept VGK from going up 2-0. Then the Wild got going as they scored two straight to take the lead. A terrific passing display by Paul Stastny led to a Max Pacioretty goal which knotted it back up. A scramble play in the Golden Knights end led to the go-ahead goal for the Wild and Vegas could not rebound. The loss moves them to 1-4-0 against the Wild all time.

VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 7 PITTSBURGH PENGUINS 3 (29-17-4 62 PTS)

By

In Game Recaps

Pittsburgh started out the period on fire controlling the game and peppering Marc-Andre Fleury’s net. They got on the board first, but then the Golden Knights got hot and scored three straight, including two in under a minute and had multiple other chances. It didn’t take long into the 2nd for Pittsburgh to storm back in as they tied it early. Then, a reviewed goal that went in Vegas’ favor on a Penguin PP seemed to ignite the Golden Knights. A misplay by Casey DeSmith led to Jonathan Marchessault’s first goal, he then tallied another to restore the two goal lead heading to the 3rd. The game cleaned up a bit defensively in the 3rd as William Karlsson got on the board for the first time in a while. Marchessault sealed it with the empty netter to become the 2nd player in VGK history to score a hat trick.
