Vegas Golden Knights News & Notes:

The Golden Knights have won two straight. They most recently picked up a 5-3 win over the Nashville Predators. They also wrapped up the Pacific Division and now await their first-round opponent, which could be the Flames, St. Louis Blues, or Minnesota Wild.

Calgary Flames News & Notes: 

The Flames have won two straight as well, most recently beating the San Jose Sharks 5-2 on Sunday. They are still alive for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference. A loss tonight would all but end any chances they may have of trying to get in.
