vegas hockey 777

Las Vegas - Very unusual for back-to-back games at the same rink, but that's what is on tap tonight as Vegas plays Seattle for the second straight time. They met Wednesday night, in Seattle, and the Golden Knights fed the Kraken a 3-0 bagel. The Knights have been on a sweet three game roll, winning all three and outscoring the opposition, 14-5. Wonder why they're suddenly on fire? It's because their playoff hopes are hanging by a VERY skinny thread. They are sitting in the 8th and final playoff spot with 78 points, just one up on Dallas' 77. The Stars played at Anaheim last night, and if they won, they move into the 8th slot with 79 points. So Vegas has gotta rock hard for the last month if they wanna skate for the Stanley Cup. Knights should be Golden this evening.
