VGK blew a 2-0 lead in the first period and had to rally late to force overtime. But the Golden Knights fell in a shootout in four rounds, as two players failed to even put the puck on net.  The poor performance in shootouts remains a concern as VGK dropped its ninth overtime/shootout game of the season.  Pavel Dorofeyev scored his first goal in ten games late in the contest to force the extra period and give VGK a point.  We discuss Carter Hart's usage, as he started his second consecutive game.  Why have the Golden Knights used him twice in three road games? And VGK's front-office restructuring and talks of a new facility that could bring a new women's league - the PWHL - to Las Vegas.

The Golden Knights might be facing their most difficult task of the road trip tonight as they face the Islanders - a team that beat the Lightning twice and handed Colorado just its second regulation loss in 29 games.  VGK is looking to extend its win streak to five games and stay undefeated on this road trip.  The VGK oppose hot goalie Ilya Sorokin, who was named the NHL's First Star of the Week.  VGK needs to have more ice time for Tomas Hertl.  His expected goals with two sets of linemates rank in the Top 20 according to Money Puck. And, we have Locks, Props and Chance for tonight's game on the Island.

After taking a 1-nothing lead through the first period on former Ranger Brett Howden’s goal, VGK saw New York put 17 shots on goal in the second period.  Luckily, Carter Hartand the Golden Knights did weather the storm.  The Rangers scored twice to take a 2-1 lead.  VGK tied the game late in the third period Thomas Hertl scored his 13th goal with just 52 seconds to go. Eichel's goal came with just :08 to go in overtime lifting VGK to its fourth straight win and second on this road trip.  The Golden Knights blanked the Devils on Friday in New Jersey as Akira Schmid stopped all 24 shots he faced.  The winning goal came late in the first period by Shea Theodore.  We also discuss the impact of Mark Stone this season and after he came back from injury.

VGK rides a two-game win streak into the Prudential Center in Newark Friday night, against the Devils, who have dropped three straight.  VGK's goalie situation remains unsettled as Jesper Vykman was called up early Friday morning.  The Golden Knights then travel to New York to meet the Rangers Sunday. Each opponent is missing a key cog - the Devils are without Jack Hughes, the Rangers are playing minus Adam Fox. New Jersey has declining attendance and the Rangers are a team that can't win at home. We also have our WTF segment with fan comments.

Mitch Marner has been lining up on the second line lately as the left wing.  Maybe one of the reasons why he doesn't seem comfortable is because he is a right-handed shooter playing out of position. He is comfortable at the point on the power play unit, but as we've pointed out, he's moved around and still hasn't found his footing.  But Marner still is scoring at nearly a point per game clip. Marner needs to settle in.  We discuss the challenging road trip and we predict the amount of points the VGK is expected to gain.  And, we talk about VGK being strong on paper, but they are still lacking depth scoring.

Bruce Cassidy finally called on Shea Theodore in the fourth round of the shootout vs Chicago Tuesday night.  Theo responded with the game-winner and improved to 9-20 on the shootout in his career.  Chris was critical of Cassidy not using Theodore in the shootout loss to the Senators a week ago.  The win lifted VGK to its first OT/SO victory in eight chances.  Tuesday also marked the first appearance for goalie Carter Hart, who comes off his NHL-mandated suspension for the Hockey Canada incident.  Both he and Hawks goalie Spencer Knight sparkled at times, especially in the OT period.  Hart had a .900 save percentage and stopped 27 of 30 shots on net.  We have our reax of his VGK debut.  And, we talk about VGK lacking a difference maker right now.

Bruce Cassidy would not say who will start in net for VGK Tuesday night against the Blackhawks. Both Carter Hart, who is eligible to play following his suspension, and Akira Schmid were on the ice at Monday's practice.  The Golden Knights are looking to close out the homestand with a win before they hit the road. Meanwhile Bruce Cassidy rotated Brendan Saad and Reilly Smith on the third line Monday. Both players were scratched in the previous game vs San Jose.  We could see these two battle for playing time.  And we have our Locks of the Knight.

The Golden Knights dropped their eighth overtime decision to the Ottawa Senators 4-3, this time in a shootout.  Pavel Dorofeyev, Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner were all blanked in the shootout period.  Shane Pinto scored the only shootout goal.   The game marked the return of Mark Stone.  He had some big hits and scored the equalizer in the third period.  VGK got off to a poor start again and dropped its seventh consecutive overtime/shootout decision.  These are trends that Bruce Cassidy wants to reverse.  We have previews of the upcoming games versus the Canadians and the Sharks and we have a special edition of WTF.

Ottawa, the only Canadian team in playoff contention at American Thanksgiving, visits the Fortress tonight.  VGK tries to get back on track after going 1-2-2 in its last five home games.  Ottawa is a team that is 2-1 on its current road trip.  There is a chance that Brady Tkachuk could be in the lineup for the first time since October, as he has been skating on the road swing.  VGK needs to make sure it protects the puck and wins board battles against the Sens.  We talk about Nashville and Vancouver looking to unload some of their veteran players.  And we have our locks and predictions for the game.
