Remember the movie, Old School? Remember the scene when Frank Ricard (played by Will Ferrell) stood naked behind a rapping duo and took the microphone? Then, he said this famous line from the movie.

He's probably wondering if KFC is still open.

But that goes beyond an average man streaking to relive his college years. The topic is streaky players, specifically the Vegas Golden Knights.

With the Golden Knights sitting pretty atop the Pacific Division with 37 points (and second in the league in overall points entering Thursday), fans have plenty of reasons to be excited. Players like Jack Eichel have been on fire to start the season with 38 points (fourth in the NHL).

However, there are some players who've been ice-cold. These players have gone for games without scoring a single point, leaving them starving. In turn, it's hindered the team at times, where they could've used a timely goal from said superstar.

It's a good thing the holidays are coming up because the temperatures are dropping. Images of the Miser Brothers are popping up in some heads, where people yearn for the warmth of the heat (not in Las Vegas, though).

With that, let's explore the hottest players for the Golden Knights (and the coldest). These players have exemplified the extremes of alternate performances, with one representing the blazing-hot start. The other? They're cooler than being cool (they're ice-cold). Here are some of the streakiest players for the Vegas Golden Knights.

Hot: Jack Eichel

What more is there to say about a superstar scoring 38 points in 27 games? Eichel has done it all for the Golden Knights, averaging 1.41 points per game. He's second in the NHL in assists with 30, boosting his top line and thrusting himself into the Hart Memorial Trophy conversation.

On top of that, he's been on fire when the Golden Knights needed him. He had a six-game point streak from November 6 to November 17, scoring two goals and 10 assists during that span. He scored five goals and 15 assists in the month of November, building off his incredible campaign the month prior (three goals, 13 assists in October).

The Golden Knights will go as far as their megastar will take them. He's the cog that runs the machine, setting up his teammates for incredible scoring opportunities and setting the pace. Therefore, it shouldn't surprise people that the center will keep his team in the Stanley Cup discussion.
