Let’s go over some news and notes:
- The Golden Knights won last night! And guess who scored the game-winner — Brandon Pirri! Shocker, right? [KOI]
- Pirri may not be the best defensive forward, but he’s been a pretty sweet treat for Vegas over the last week or so. [HockeyBuzz]
- Ever wonder if ex-Golden Knights miss playing in Vegas? Don’t. Because they absolutely do. [SinBin.vegas]
- Perhaps Erik Brannstrom is ready for the NHL.
ERIK BRANNSTROM! Brannstrom tallies another goal in this tournament, this time sending the Sweden lead to 3 with a LASER!
