The Golden Knights are still playing red-hot hockey
Bruce Cassidy has done an excellent job preparing his teams to start the season. The Vegas Golden Knights have started the last two seasons hot, 13-2-0 and 11-0-1, respectively. It's led to a total of 49 points in both seasons combined.
This season is no different, with the Golden Knights at 9-3-2 and in first place in the Pacific Division with 20 points. In fact, Vegas has earned a point in seven of their last eight games. Of course, it's due to the home cooking they've enjoyed, going 5-0-0 during that span.
However, it's finding ways to win, regardless of how ugly the result might be. A couple good examples are Vegas's games against the Ottawa Senators (October 25) and Edmonton Oilers (November 6). Both contests saw the Golden Knights pounce on power play opportunities to tie the game.
These led to late offensive onslaughts that earned four points combined. It shows Cassidy and the Golden Knights can find ways to win when faced with adversity. That's part of how they've earned first place in the Pacific Division to start the season. Teams who will their way to victory will always come out on top, especially with an excellent head coach at the helm.
