Analysis: After allowing a goal on the first shot for the second game in a Golden Knights were all over the Predator net for the rest of the 1st period. It didn’t amount to anything despite 20 shots and it was a sign of bad things to come. NSH’s special teams outclassed VGK in the middle frame and it was a wrap from there. (Analysis by Ken)

Analysis:  The Golden Knights came into this game with a chance to feast on a team playing one of the most difficult situations in hockey, a back-to-back in Colorado and Vegas. It took a little while for them to get going on it but once they did the flood gates opened and they never stopped. Seven 5-on-5 goals checks another box as this team rounds into the form we’ve all been waiting to see. (Analysis by Ken)

Analysis: VGK got going early in this one and took advantage of the game being a bit of a mess. Then, a seemingly harmless shot found its way in from the high slot, and Vegas kind of fell apart. Again, they gave up four consecutive goals and turned a two-goal deficit into a 2-goal hole. Special teams had a bit of an off day and they’ve now lost six of the last seven games. (Analysis by Ken)

Analysis: One team was playing to clinch the Pacific Division, the other has three games left in one of the worst seasons in recent history. Boy did it look that way too as the Golden Knights put it to the Predators for the first two periods. It got a little dicey, but eventually they found a way to turn the tables back around.

Analysis: VGK opened with as bad of a period as they’ve ever played. A single shot on goal, absolutely no offense, and not great defensively. It got worse before it got better but in the end it was just a bit of a hill too tall to climb. Good on them come backing and making it interesting.  (Recap by Ken)
