Vegas Golden Knights News & Notes

Vegas is in a bit of a slump right now, losing four out of five games. Thankfully, they banked plenty of points before the skid. Unfortunately, the Edmonton Oilers are playing fantastic hockey and have tied the Golden Knights. With Edmonton’s addition of John Klingberg, I’d expected Vegas to start scouring the market for a deal.

Chicago Blackhawks News & Notes

Like Vegas, Chicago has lost 4 in the last five games and is headed into a streak of playoff contenders over the next two weeks. As Chicago is already out of the playoffs, expect the Taylor Hall trade rumors to start heating up.

Players To Watch:

Vegas Golden Knights

Jack Eichel leads the team in points (55) and assists (44). Goaltending tandem Ilya Samsonov and Adin Hill are both having spectacular seasons; no matter the goalie in net, scoring will be a struggle.

Chicago Blackhawks

Tyler Bertuzzi leads the Blackhawks in goals scored with 14. Connor Bedard and Ryan Donato in a close second with 13.
