After a mini-team meeting and a very angry locker room following the four game home losing streak, the Golden Knights were expected to come out guns blazing on the Sunday afternoon game. That didn’t happen as they were outshot 20-6 in the 1st and couldn’t seem to generate much offense. Then, the 2nd happened, and the old Golden Knight returned to the tune of four goals in less than 10 minutes including a natural (three in a row) hat trick by William Karlsson. The final period was about one thing, donuts, and Marc-Andre Fleury delivered the shutout necessary to earn everyone Krispy Kremes.
Upcoming stories from the Vegas Golden Knights vs. Calgary Flames at T-Mobile Arena.
- We found a historic statistic for the Golden Knights, but we need to talk to David Perron before we share it.
- The standings cushion giveth and the cushion taketh away.

If the following happen, Thursday’s watch party could be a playoff clinching night-
Devils beat Anaheim tonight
Knights beat Canucks Tuesday
Flames beat Ducks Wednesday
That sets up a potential playoff clinching game Thursday vs SJ
Ken Boehlke
That sounds amazing.
Mark
Go Devils tonight. Let’s at least get the ball rolling.
P.s. all Duck losses must be in regulation
Mark
Forgot to mention Kings
Kings lose at least 2 of 3 (Minnesota Mon, Winnipeg Tues, Colorado Thurs)
Plus Knights win over Canucks.
Also your tweet on the side says any of the 8 point teams, but because the Central would still have 5 teams after Dallas still alive. Don’t We still need 2 Pacific or 1 Pacific And 2 Central. Calgary is close enough, but that still leaves 1 pacific or 2 Central
Ken Boehlke
Yes. Once Calgary is out it’s either one of the Pacific or 2 more Central. Need 5 Es in the Pacific and 7 in the Conference.
Mark
Yeah, so Calgary and Dallas don’t work.
So Dallas with 8 only matters with St Louis at 9 as well. If that happens before Anaheim/LAK
Ken Boehlke
Correct
Mark
So scratch Ducks by Thursday.
Go Minnesota and/or Winnipeg vs Kings the next 2 days to keep the dream alive.
Ken Boehlke
Note: I went back and recalculated, a few numbers were off.
Mark
Still a chance for a Thursday clinch with 8 lost points for Kings
Vegas plays 2x (Tuesday vs Van and Thurs at SJ)
LA plays 3x all road (Minn Mon, Winnipeg Tues, Col Thurs)
8 of those 10 points go against LA, we clinch watching at The Game
