For the third time in six seasons, the Vegas Golden Knights are off to the Western Conference Final. A tough, emotionally charged six-game Western semifinal against the Edmonton Oilers saw the two teams trade wins over four lopsided games to open the series, only for Vegas to close out a 4-3 Game 5 triumph and
It’s official: we now know that the Pacific Division champion Vegas Golden Knights will clash with the Winnipeg Jets in the first round of the NHL playoffs, with Game 1 set to get underway on Tuesday at T-Mobile Arena.

At this point, saying that the Buffalo Sabres and Jack Eichel have a quiet relationship would be a major understatement. The former Sabres captain returned to Buffalo for a second time on Thursday (Nov. 10) and the first since his raucous homecoming this past March, in which he was booed substantially.

Every game is weighed evenly throughout an 82-game NHL schedule, but we’d be kidding ourselves to suggest that they all feel equally important.

A challenging, whirlwind 2021-22 season has added another chapter, with the suddenly surging Vegas Golden Knights riding a five-game win streak as they make a renewed playoff push.
