Recap: The Golden Knights were hoping to snap their losing skid with a victory in Chicago. Vegas’ Brandon Saad opened up the scoring against his old team with his second goal of the season. Minutes later the Blackhawks evened the score. After the opening 20 minutes the game was tied 1-1. The Golden Knights took an immediate lead :43 into the middle frame. Captain Mark Stone picked up his 12th goal of 2025-26, giving his team a 2-1 edge. Chicago tied the game scoring the only goal of the final period to force overtime. The Blackhawks scored early on 3-on-3 to pick up the two points. The Golden Knights record drops to 17-11-12 falling to the Blackhawks 3-2 in OT. Next up, Vegas will travel to Winnipeg to face the Jets on Tuesday night. Puck drop is scheduled for 5 PM. (Recap by Jason) Analysis: Embarrassing game for the Golden Knights. They didn’t look dangerous most of the night and it got really bad in the 3rd period as they tried to hold the lead. Didn’t land a shot for the first half of the period, wasn’t particularly pretty in the defensive zone either. Eventually, they bent enough that they broke and then never possessed the puck in OT. Terrible loss considering it was a B2B for Chicago, it was Dad’s Trip, and the Hawks are without their only two good players… and their good goalie didn’t play. (Analysis by Ken) Upcoming stories from the Vegas Golden Knights vs. Chicago Blackhawks at United Center. SinBin Podcast (taping tomorrow, published Tuesday) Ken’s Three VGK Stars *** Colton Sissons ** Akira Schmid * Mark Stone That's an inexcusable loss. Absolutely pathetic… and that's before considering they had the lead with less than 10 minutes left. Periscope coming up in 10 minutes or so. It will not be a happy one. — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) January 5, 2026 VGK have gotten exactly what they've deserved in this period. Simply no push to extend the lead and even defensively, they haven't been as sound as they should be. Chicago has tied it with a little more than 8 to go. 2-2 — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) January 5, 2026 Mark Stone has yet another goal. 4 games in a row. Fortunate hop on the pass from Eichel to Barbashev and VGK have the lead once again. 2-1 — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) January 5, 2026 The post CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS 3 VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 2 (17-11-12, 46 PTS) – OT appeared first on SinBin.vegas.

Recap: The Golden Knights were hoping to build off Tuesday’s win with a victory over the top seeded Colorado Avalanche. Quickly into the opening twenty minutes Alex Holtz gave Vegas a 1-0 lead, scoring his first goal of the season. Ivan Barbashev doubled Vegas’ lead :34 into the middle frame. The Avalanche began to heat up rattling off two straight goals, but Vegas returned the favor. First Ben Hutton regained the Golden Knights lead, and Brett Howden doubled their lead less than a minute later. After 40 minutes, Vegas held a 4-2 advantage. Colorado quickly got within one in the final frame and tied it 4-4 minutes later. Late in the frame Colton Sissons regained VGK’s one goal lead. The Avalanche scored again to send the game into overtime. Eventually Colorado won the game in a shootout. The Golden Knights record drops to 17-8-11 falling to the Colorado Avalanche 6-5 in SO. Next up, Vegas will host the Minnesota Wild on Monday night. Puck drop against the Wild is scheduled for 7 PM. (Recap by Jason) Analysis: What a game for the Golden Knights. Despite being down three of their most important skaters and their starting goalie, they stuck to the gameplan they’ve used for a long time against the Avalanche and it worked like a charm… for the most part. They played with incredibly strong sticks and great gaps at the blue line which left the Avs struggling to enter the zone. Eventually, there were turnovers and VGK capitalized on just about every chance they got on goal. Unfortunately, there was a lot of really bad luck which is awfully difficult to overcome against Colorado. Incredibly impressive effort against a team that very well may end the season with the best record in the history of the NHL. (Analysis by Ken) Upcoming stories from the Vegas Golden Knights vs. Colorado Avalanche at T-Mobile Arena. Stick battle dominance > overall hockey talent Ken’s Three VGK Stars *** Ben Hutton ** Tomas Hertl * Alex Holtz VGK lose it in shootout but have absolutely nothing to hang their heads about tonight. What an effort, what a game. Honestly believe that's the best game VGK have played this season, considering the circumstances. — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) December 28, 2025 Make your own luck. VGK have been excellent this period and they've gotten the 2-goal lead right back. Another rush chance, Howden wins to the front and tips it up over Wedgewood's shoulder. 4-2 — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) December 28, 2025 My goodness. Another one off VGK and into the goal. They've played an incredibly good 30 minutes and the game is now tied due to two horribly unlucky bounced. 2-2 — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) December 28, 2025 Continue to be incredibly impressed with VGK's sticks tonight. They are crushing the Avs in every loose puck. — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) December 28, 2025 The post COLORADO AVALANCHE 6 VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 5 (17-8-11, 45 PTS) – SO (2-1) appeared first on SinBin.vegas.

After a dismal two-game trip up to Canada, the Golden Knights are trying to adjust to life without Jack Eichel and Shea Theodore for the time being. They have to figure out how to stop falling behind in games. Hosted by Ken Boehlke and Jason Pothier. Dot Vegas Domains is the presenting sponsor of the SinBin.vegas Podcast.

Recap: In the second of a two game road trip the Golden Knights headed north to frigid Edmonton. The Oilers came out flying scoring twice in the 1st period including a Connor McDavid wondergoal. The Golden Knights had three power play opportunities but couldn’t capitalize on any of them. The Oilers continued the onslaught in the 2nd period scoring a couple more meaning Vegas found itself in a 4-goal hole for the second straight night. Tomas Hertl was able find the back of the net on the power play to cut the deficit to three. The 2nd period would end 4-1. VGK came roaring back in the 3rd period starting with another power play goal, this time from Pavel Dorofeyev. Then, when Bruce Cassidy stuck Mitch Marner, Mark Stone, and Hertl together, they were all over the Oilers and Marner eventually stuck in Vegas’ 3rd goal. They looked dangerous all the way until the final horn but couldn’t find the equalizer. The Golden Knights’ record drops to 16-8-10 falling to the Oilers 4-3 in Edmonton. Next up, the Golden Knights are coming home for the holidays. The first of a four game homestand against the Sharks on Tuesday. Puck drop is at 7 PM. (Recap by Ken) Analysis: For the first half of the game it looked like the two-time defending Western Conference Champions were toying with a Golden Knights team missing two of its best players. EDM’s PP struck a few times, they were all over VGK at 5-on-5 and the Golden Knights appeared dead in the water. Then, the tide turned and the Golden Knights took over. Their execution turned up a ton and they got right back in it. They couldn’t find the game-tying goal but if the game lasted a few more minutes they probably would have, because they were buzzing. (Analysis by Ken) Upcoming stories from the Vegas Golden Knights vs. Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place.

Every pass is tape to tape. — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) December 22, 2025 Cassidy throws out his three best players on the same line and they come through. All of a sudden it's a 1 goal game! 4-3 EDM — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) December 22, 2025 Cue the Harlem Globetrotter music on that PP. VGK could not have looked more lost. 3-0 EDM — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) December 22, 2025 Men against boys in the 1st period (aside from VGK's first PP). — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) December 22, 2025 The post EDMONTON OILERS 4 VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 3 (16-8-10, 42 PTS) appeared first on SinBin.vegas.

Recap: The Golden Knights were looking to wrap up their road trip with a victory in Columbus over the Blue Jackets. Columbus jumped out first with a goal seven minutes into the opening frame. After twenty minutes the home team held a 1-0 edge. Immediately in the middle frame, the Golden Knights were awarded a power play opportunity which Pavel Dorofeyev took advantage of. Dorofeyev tied the game, scoring his 13th goal of the season. The game was locked in a 1-1 tie after two periods of action. Five minutes into the final period the Blue Jackets regained their one goal lead. The Golden Knights answered right back with a goal from defenseman Ben Hutton. Late in the period, Brayden McNabb snapped the tie and gave Vegas a 3-2 advantage. Vegas fought off a late 6-on-4 to complete their victory. The Golden Knights record improves to 16-6-9 defeating the Blue Jackets 3-2 in Columbus. Next up, Vegas will travel home and prepare for their next game on Wednesday. Puck drop against the New Jersey Devils is scheduled for 7 PM. (Recap by Jason) Analysis: The Golden Knights looked a lot like a team at the end of a road trip, essentially out of gas and trying to hang on. Somehow though, they battled their way through, without playing well for most of the game, and defeated a Columbus team that can’t seem to get out of its own way. The road trip ends with an incredible 4-0-1, but the play to get them there was no where near as impressive.

The “when” on VGK’s expected goals Ken’s Three VGK Stars *** Mark Stone ** Ben Hutton * Mitch Marner One disappointment from this game, Mark Stone's streak of recording a point in every game is unfortunately over. His streak of VGK recording a point in every game he plays (except one) continues. — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) December 14, 2025 Brayden McNabb with a perfectly placed shot from a wide angle. VGK defensemen have a pair, and VGK have the lead! 3-2 — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) December 14, 2025 Mitch Marner had drawn 3 penalties in the first 30 games. He's drawn 2 in 21 minutes here tonight. — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) December 14, 2025 VGK are having a bit of a tough time getting decent stretches of possession early in this game. — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) December 14, 2025 The post VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 3 COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS 2 (16-6-9, 41 PTS) appeared first on SinBin.vegas.

The Golden Knights have rescued the last two games and gathered 5 of the first 6 points on the road trip. But, it still doesn’t have the look and feel of a great team yet.

Recap: The Golden Knights were looking to start December off on the right foot with a home victory against the Chicago Blackhawks. Vegas struck first thirty seconds into the opening period. Ivan Barbashev was awarded his 9th goal of the season but Chicago immediately answered back. After twenty minutes of action the game was locked in a 1-1 tie. Chicago snapped the 1-1 tie with an unassisted goal midway through the period. Vegas defenseman Ben Hutton evened the score 2-2 with his 3rd goal of the season. Blackhawks star Connor Bedard scored on a brilliant individual move to regain his team’s advantage. Vegas heavily pressured Chicago in the final frame and it paid off. Braeden Bowman scored his fifth goal to even the score 3-3 and force overtime. Eventually the game was decided by Vegas in a shootout where Pavel Dorofeyev and Shea Theodore scored while Carter Hart stopped three of four. The Golden Knights record improves to 12-6-8 defeating the Blackhawks 4-3 in SO. Next up, Vegas will hit the road for the next five games beginning on Friday. Puck drop against the New Jersey Devils is scheduled for 4 PM. (Recap by Jason) Analysis: This was not a particularly good game for the Golden Knights from a systems perspective. They allowed a heap of odd-man rushes, which led to Bedard’s snipe and a bundle of penalties. VGK’s offense just never really got sustained pressure and even when they did the Knight in the other goal was very good. But, they kept pushing down the stretch and found a way to get the game tied. In overtime, the Hawks were all over the Golden Knights, but Hart kept them in it with a few great stops. Theodore won it with his favorite move in shootout.

An undecided story from Jason Ken’s Three VGK Stars *** Braeden Bowman ** Carter Hart * Shea Theodore Shea Theodore with the old trusty move. He's been using it for 9 years and it still works.

He's the only reason this game is still alive. Let's see if he's the answer in shootout. — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) December 3, 2025 The post VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 4 CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS 3 (12-6-8, 32 PTS) – SO (2-1) appeared first on SinBin.vegas.

Recap: The Golden Knights hosted the Ottawa Senators for a pre-Thanksgiving matchup at T-Mobile Arena. Ottawa answered quickly into the game to take a 1-0 lead. Vegas pushed back and finally got on the scoreboard with minutes remaining in the period. With seconds left Ottawa regained their two-goal advantage. Jack Eichel scored his 250th career NHL goal to get his team within one. Ottawa was awarded a late period power play opportunity which Vegas promptly killed off. In his return from injury captain Mark Stone tied the game 3-3 with a crucial power play goal. After regulation the game needed an overtime and eventually a shootout to decide a winner. The Golden Knights record drops to 10-5-8 falling to the Senators 4-3 in shootout. Next up, Vegas will welcome the Montreal Canadiens for an afternoon matchup on Black Friday. Puck drop against the Canadiens is scheduled for 1 PM.(Recap by Jason) Analysis: VGK dug themselves a decent hole in the 1st but went to work the rest of the game to get themselves back in it. They completely shut down the Senators’ attack for the last 40 minutes and were able to get a cheap goal to tie it on the power play (after having many better chances on the previous ones). Overtime was better, shootout was not. (Analysis by Ken) Upcoming stories from the Vegas Golden Knights vs. Ottawa Senators at T-Mobile Arena. Happy Thanksgiving Ken’s Three VGK Stars *** Mark Stone ** Brayden McNabb * Jack Eichel VGK have earned their 8th loser point of the season. In 23 games. The most they've ever had in a season is 11. — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) November 27, 2025 VGK's PK was massive in this 2nd period. 2 chances, they erased both with ease. — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) November 27, 2025 Akira Schmid thought he had the post sealed. He definitely did not. 1-0 OTT on a goal that shouldn't happen to a pee-wee goalie. — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) November 27, 2025 The post OTTAWA SENATORS 4 VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 3 (10-5-8, 28 PTS) – SO (1-0) appeared first on SinBin.vegas.

Recap: The Golden Knights began a three-game road trip in Utah to face the Mammoth. Vegas was awarded a cross-checking penalty but couldn’t convert their opportunity into a goal. After 20 minutes, the game was locked in a scoreless tie. Vegas came out hot to start the middle frame. First, Jack Eichel opened the scoring 3:09 into the period, and Ben Hutton followed 19 seconds later. The Mammoth cut the Golden Knights’ lead in half but Eichel regained VGK’s two-goal advantage. 45 seconds into the final 20 minutes, Braeden Bowman scored his third career goal, giving his club a 4-1 lead. The Golden Knights’ record improves to 10-4-6 defeating the Mammoth 4-1 in Utah. Next, up Vegas will take a short flight to Anaheim before returning back to Utah for another game with the Mammoth. Puck drop against the Ducks is scheduled for Saturday at 7 PM. (Recap by Jason) Analysis:  It’s been a rarity this season, the Golden Knights used a dominant 2nd period to grab and hold of the game. Their details were excellent all night and the offense came to life in the middle frame. From there they basically leaned on the Mammoth and made them look like boys to VGK’s men. (Analysis by Ken) Upcoming stories from the Vegas Golden Knights vs. Utah Mammoth at Delta Center. Hutton and Bowman making cases to keep spots Ken’s Three VGK Stars *** Akira Schmid ** Braeden Bowman * Jack Eichel When the Golden Knights defense is in sync, which it has been for the last 4 or 5 games now, it has a way of making teams think it's harder to get the puck to the net than it is. Utah is falling for it hard tonight. I'll explain more in the Periscope after the game. — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) November 21, 2025 Jack Eichel is absolutely on fire right now. What a pass to Bowman and he taps it home. 4-1 VGK and this one is turning into a butt kicking. — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) November 21, 2025 Monkey off the back. Eichel may never get an easier scoring chance than that. 1-0 VGK — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) November 21, 2025 Fundamentally sound first 15 minutes here for VGK. Good gaps, strong sticks, great puck support. It will eventually pay dividends if they can stick with it. — SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) November 21, 2025 The post VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 4 UTAH MAMMOTH 1 (10-4-6, 26 PTS) appeared first on SinBin.vegas.
