Let’s go over some news and notes:
– Remember that horrific collapse against the Devils on Friday? Me neither, because the Golden Knights are back in the win column! [KOI]
– The Knights’ USA line of Max Pacioretty, Paul Stastny and Alex Tuch is pretty good! [KOI]
– Not that this should be surprising to anyone, but it seems pretty clear that Erik Haula will be out for a while. He had surgery on his knee not long after injuring it earlier this season. [ESPN]
– Starting Marc-Andre Fleury as much as the Knights are probably isn’t ideal. And history proves it. [The Athletic]
– Oh, look! Another article questioning Vegas’ credibility as a hockey market. That’s fun. [The Washington Post]
– Cody Eakin took a unique approach to pregame warmups yesterday.
