Recap: The Golden Knights were hoping to keep their winning streak alive with a victory over the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs. Toronto took the opening lead two minutes into the game and took a 2-0 lead four shifts later. Facing his former club, Mitch Marner fed Pavel Dorofeyev on the power play to cut the Leafs lead in half. Toronto regained their two goal lead moments after. Vegas trailed 3-1 after twenty minutes of action.

Vegas had an early second power play that they failed to score. Five minutes later, depth forward Keegan Kolesar scored his second goal of the season to cut Toronto’s lead to one goal. Vegas’ Tomas Hertl committed a costly penalty midway through the period leading to a 4-2 Maple Leafs advantage.

Quickly into the third period, the Golden Knights drew a penalty and was awarded a crucial power play opportunity. Dorofeyev, VGK’s PP specialist, added his second 5-on-4 goal of the evening to get Vegas within one goal. Six minutes later the Maple Leafs regained their two-goal edge. With under ten minutes remaining Mark Stone gave Vegas life with his 17th goal of the season and Tomas Hertl forced overtime with his 19th. Jack Eichel completed the comeback in overtime.

The Golden Knights record improves to 23-11-12 defeating the Maple Leafs 6-5 in OT. Next up, Vegas will host the Nashville Predators on Saturday night. Puck drop against the Preds is scheduled for 7 PM PT. (Recap by Jason)

Analysis: The Leafs came out hot in this game and it took quite a while for VGK to get up to pace. Adin Hill’s return was unsurprisingly rocky and his defense didn’t do him a lot of favors either. The Golden Knights eventually caught up with the speed of the game and kept pushing until the bitter end. Even with a game-tying goal waved off late, they found a way to keep going and get it to OT. Unbelievable win considering the holes they consistently had to dig out of. (Analysis by Ken)

Recap: The Golden Knights were looking to keep their winning streak alive with a victory in San Jose. Jack Eichel opened the scoring with his 15th goal of the season. The Sharks evened the score minutes later but committed a costly penalty midway through the period. On the ensuing power play, specialist Pavel Dorofeyev scored to give Vegas a 2-1 lead.

Vegas came out hot for the 2nd period. Eichel, Tomas Hertl and Zach Whitecloud all scored to take a commanding 5-1 lead. San Jose cut the lead to 5-2 before the intermission.

An empty net goal from Shea Theodore and then another from Hertl extended the lead to the same score VGK beat the Sharks by a few weeks ago, 7-2.

The Golden Knights record improves to 21-11-12 defeating the Sharks 7-2 in San Jose. Next up, Vegas will take on the Kings on Wednesday night in LA. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 PM. (Recap by Jason)

19% of VGK's wins, 15% of their points, and 16% of their goals this season have come against the San Jose Sharks.

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) January 12, 2026

4.95% net PP now as VGK kill this one off in 16 seconds.

It's literally comedic how badly the Sharks play against VGK. https://t.co/nDc99EiTZW

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) January 12, 2026

This is the 12th time the Golden Knights have played San Jose on the second night of a B2B. This will be VGK's 11th win and the other one was an OTL.

More than 1/5th of VGK's wins with 0 days rest have come against SJS.

— SinBin.vegas (@SinBinVegas) January 12, 2026

11th straight game against the Sharks the Golden Knights have scored at least 4 goals.

It took just a bit more than half of the game to get there tonight.

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)

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

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)

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.

The post SinBin.vegas Podcast #345: Watching The Same Movie appeared first on SinBin.vegas.

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.

VGK could not have looked more lost.

3-0 EDM

Men against boys in the 1st period (aside from VGK's first PP).

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. (Analysis by Ken)

The post SinBin.vegas Podcast #344: Coin Flips appeared first on SinBin.vegas.

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. (Analysis by Ken)
