Vegas Golden Knights News & Notes:

With 11 games left on the schedule, the Golden Knights have a five point lead on the Los Angeles Kings for first place in the Pacific Division.

Chicago Blackhawks News & Notes:

Current Blackhawks coach Anders Sorensen is taking heat in the media. Sorensen was asked after the latest Blackhawks game about Connor Bedard being given extra shoves on the ice, and his lack of response to the situation. His response? ‘I just don’t know what to gain out of it.’

Obviously, the Blackhawks aren’t married to Sorensen behind the bench, but things aren’t well in Chicago.
