Recent Performances


The Vegas Golden Knights have shown remarkable resilience in their past games. With two wins out of their last three matches, they've demonstrated both offensive prowess and defensive solidity. Their ability to capitalize on powerplay opportunities has been a significant factor in their success, highlighted by a winning goal during an overtime victory against the Winnipeg Jets. Despite facing challenges in maintaining possession as seen in their faceoff win percentages and giveaways, the team's strength lies in its even-strength play and goaltending efficiency.
