VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS 5 CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS 2 (1-0-0, 2 PTS)

Recap:  The Golden Knights kicked off the franchise’s 10th NHL season with a home opener against the Chicago Blackhawks. Vegas warmed up their offense by drawing a couple of early power plays. Two-time Golden Knight Victor Olofsson opened the scoring to give Vegas the first lead of the season. A few shifts later, rookie Trevor Connelly scored his first career NHL goal to hand Vegas a 2-0 edge. Chicago climbed within one deep into the middle period. Minutes later, Jack Eichel scored to give Vegas a 3-1 advantage. Eichel’s goal was his 700th career NHL point. Quickly into the final frame, the Blackhawks cut into the Golden Knights’ lead. 39 seconds later, Noah Hanifin scored to make it a 4-2 VGK advantage. Vegas captain Mark Stone sealed the game with a late empty-net score. The Golden Knights record improves to 1-0-0 by defeating the Blackhawks 5-2 on Opening Night. Next, Vegas will host Pacific Division rival Anaheim Ducks on Friday night. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 PM. (Recap by Jason) Analysis: VGK came out flying to open the game, looking like the faster team by a mile in the 1st period. They were able to draw a few penalties and land a bunch of shots which led to a pair of goals. It wasn’t nearly as dominant in the next two periods but it certainly felt like any time Vegas needed to turn it up they were able to and Chicago had no answer. Much bigger test coming up on Friday. (Analysis by Ken) Upcoming stories from the Vegas Golden Knights vs. Chicago Blackhawks at T-Mobile Arena.

Recap: The Golden Knights were facing elimination and needed a victory in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final to stay alive. Carolina struck first a few minutes into the game. The Golden Knights killed off two first penalties to hold the Hurricanes lead at 1-0. Vegas began the middle frame on the power play but failed to find the back of the net. Late in the period Carolina scored to take a 2-0 in the intermission. The Golden Knights struggled to create shots but had a great power play chance but Jack Eichel hit the crossbar. With a minute remaining in Game 6 the Hurricanes added an empty net goal. The Hurricanes defeat the Golden Knights 3-0 and capture their second Stanley Cup trophy in team history. (Recap by Jason) Analysis: It just wasn’t to be on this night. Carolina came out hot and Brandon Bussi along with a whirlwind of puck luck kept the Golden Knights out all night. It’s hard to believe after what we all witness for the last 2 months, but the Hurricanes were simply a better team. Tough end to a remarkable playoff run. (Recap by Ken) Upcoming stories from Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Vegas Golden Knights vs Carolina Hurricanes at T-Mobile Arena.

Recap: The Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes faced up for a crucial Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final in Raleigh. In the opening seven minute of the game Pavel Dorofeyev gave Vegas a 1-0 edge on the power play. A handful of shifts later the Hurricanes answered right back. After twenty minutes Game 5 was locked in a 1-1 tie. Carolina snapped the tie deep into the second frame to take their first lead of the game. Late in the period the Hurricanes scored to take a 3-1 lead into the second intermission. Trailing 3-1, the Golden Knights committed a costly penalty which the Hurricanes took advantage. Dorofeyev scored his second of the game to make it a 4-2 Carolina advantage. Vegas emptied their net with a late game power play but couldn’t find the back of the net. The Hurricanes take a 3-2 Stanley Cup Final lead by defeating the Golden Knights 4-2 in Raleigh. Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final is scheduled for Sunday at 5PM PT at T-Mobile Arena. (Recap by Jason) Analysis: The Golden Knights finally figured out how to start a game better against a Hurricanes team that’s extremely hard to keep from running over you in the 1st period. The problem is that the dominance in the 2nd period vanished and it was mostly because of untimely penalties. Lauzon took a bad one, then after VGK killed that one, McNabb took another and the Canes capitalized. It’s hard to keep games from snowballing in Raleigh and that’s exactly what happened. Carolina potted another in the 2nd and then another penalty gave them 4-minutes to essentially seal the game. VGK are in a dangerous hole, and will now have to win twice in a row against a team that hasn’t lost two straight since January. This team never says die though, there’s no way they are rolling over on Sunday easily.
