Golden Knights Face Devils at Home, Aim to Extend Point Streak

LAS VEGAS – The Vegas Golden Knights (16-6-9) return to T-Mobile Arena tonight at 7 p.m. to host the New Jersey Devils (18-14-1) in a rematch from their December 12th game, where Vegas secured a 3-0 shutout victory.

The Golden Knights are riding high, boasting the league’s best points percentage (.917) in December and coming off a successful road trip where they earned nine out of a possible ten points. They’re currently second in the league in regulation losses, behind the Colorado Avalanche. Their last game was a 3-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Key players to watch for the Golden Knights include Jack Eichel, currently on a five-game point streak with nine points (1G, 8A), and Mitch Marner, who is in the second spot in the fewest games to reach 30 points as a Golden Knight. Defensively, Brayden McNabb is tied for the NHL lead in blocked shots with 82.

The Devils, sitting sixth in the Metropolitan Division, are kicking off a two-game road trip in Vegas. They recently went 1-2-0 in their most recent homestand, with their only win coming against the Anaheim Ducks (4-1). Jesper Bratt (29 points) leads the team in scoring, followed by Nico Hischier (26 points) and Timo Meier (23 points).

Tonight’s game presents milestone opportunities for several players. Jack Eichel is six points away from 300 as a Golden Knight, Carter Hart is one win away from 100 career wins, Jack Eichel is two assists away from 400 career assists, Colton Sissons is four goals away from 100 career goals, and Shea Theodore is five games away from 600 career games.
