Vegas Knights vs Maple Leafs: Date, Time, How to Watch and More
By Evan Mead
The Vegas Golden Knights were able to have a couple days off on this road trip that allowed them to get back home. Now they are back on the road and heading to take on the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Vegas Golden Knights after losing four straight have done a terrific job at reinventing themselves. Thus far into the season their identity has been ruled by injuries. After losing three forwards in their top six, and two defenseman in their top four, it’ll be hard for any team to overcome. However, after a four game losing streak they finally started finding their rhythm again.
Right as the Knights started finding their rhythm, another injury has found it’s way to deplete their team. It was reported yesterday that William Karlsson will be out indefinitely with a lower-body injury. If there is any consolation to brighten up your day, then it’s possible that I may have that. Over the course of the last couple days star winger, Mark Stone, has been skating by himself and there are a lot of positive views. As for the injury report, Stone was not listed on it prior to the game. It hasn’t been confirmed by Pete DoBoer how close he is to returning, but things are looking up on that front.
So with that being said, it’s unlikely that Mark Stone returns tonight, but I’d assume there is hope for him returning while on this road span. So with them having a game tonight, I’d expect them to be without Stone. So let’s take a look at what the lines could look like tonight against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Knights Potential Lineup against the Maple Leafs
Forwards
Peyton Krebs-Chandler Stephenson-William Carrier
Jonathan Marchessault-Brett Howden-Reilly Smith
Keegan Kolesar-Nicolas Roy-Evgenii Dadonov
Michael Amadio-Jake Leschyshyn-Jonas Rondbjerg
Defense
Nicolas Hague-Alex Pietrangelo
Shea Theodore-Alec Martinez
Brayden McNabb-Daniil Miromanov
Goalies
Robin Lehner
Laurent Brossoit
The Knights have won three straight games and are currently sitting at .500. With the win tonight, they could find themselves getting back in the hunt for sure. With William Karlsson out roughly six weeks, how much a factor that’ll play into the Knights tonight? I’m not sure. However, as an organization who’s as reputable as they are, they have to be prepared for all things that could go wrong. We’ll see how that translates to tonight’s game.
