As far as road trips go, the Vegas Golden Knights couldn’t have asked for much better during their three game swing on the east coast.
With two wins and an overtime loss, the Vegas Golden Knights returned home with five points from a possible six, which is a fantastic return.
After a woeful November, in which they went a below-par 5-6-3, the Golden Knights started to show some signs of life before hitting the road and they appear to be getting hot at just the right time.
Winning four straight prior to the loss to the New York Islanders in overtime on Thursday, the Knights had beaten both the New York Rangers and the New Jersey Devils to start the road trip even with future Hall of Famer Marc-Andre Fleury away from the team.
They beat the Rangers in dominant fashion, coming out hard and never taking their foot off the gas, before gutting out a win over the Devils who were out to impress Interim Head Coach Alain Nasreddine.
And then, on Thursday, the Golden Knights exchanged blows with a very good Islanders team and went the distance, only to fall in overtime.
But five point points from a possible six from three games in four days is nothing to be sniffed at and this productive road trip lays the foundations for Vegas to finish 2019 strong and start building some momentum heading into the All-Star break.
With the Golden Knights back on home ice tomorrow against the New York Rangers, we thought it would be apt to share some thoughts from the team’s three-game road trip on the east coast…
