Vegas Golden Knights 2019-20 Season Preview Vegas Golden Knights 2019-20 Season Preview VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS: TEAM LOOK-AHEAD The Golden Knights enter their third campaign with a cumulative record of 94-56-14 in 164 regular-season games. Only three franchises have required less than 200 games to reach 100 victories in the regular season, with each entering the League in 1917-18: the original Ottawa Senators (165 GP), Montreal Canadiens (183 GP) and Toronto Maple Leafs (190 GP). Vegas has held a top-three position in the Pacific Division for 79% of their time in the League (296 of 374 days of regular-season play). Since divisions were first introduced in 1926-27, only two NHL franchises have finished among the top three in their division in at least each of their first three seasons: the New York Rangers (American Division; 1926-27) and St. Louis Blues (West Division; 1967-68). Vegas will aim to become the fourth team in NHL history to make the playoffs in each of its first three seasons; the only clubs to do so, with their consecutive playoff appearances and inaugural season noted in parentheses: Edmonton Oilers (13; 1979-80), Rangers (9; 1926-27) and Blues (6; 1967-68). SEASON-OPENING STATS * Marc-Andre Fleury has won his team’s first game of the season nine times in his career (14 GP), tied for the second-most season-opening wins in NHL history behind Curtis Joseph (10-2- 0 in 13 GP) and Martin Brodeur (10-5-3 in 18 GP). Fleury also has two season-opening shutouts, tied for second-most all time behind Glenn Hall (3 in 11 GP) and Jacques Plante (3 in 12 GP). * Paul Stastny has 8-6—14 in 13 career season-openers, the third-most such goals and fourth- most such points (tied) among active NHL players. Vegas Golden Knights 2019-20 Season Preview * The Golden Knights have won their first road game in each of their two NHL seasons – their inaugural game at Dallas in 2017-18 and their first road game of 2018-19 at Minnesota. Only three clubs in NHL history have won their first road game in each of their first three seasons in the League: the New York Rangers (7; 1926-27—1932-33), Montreal Canadiens (3; 1917-18— 1919-20) and New York Americans (3; 1925-26—1927-28). * Overall, Vegas is one of five teams to win its first road game in each of the past two or more seasons. The Golden Knights will factor in two of the streaks noted below as they open the 2019-20 campaign with a home-and-home against the Sharks. WIN FIRST ROAD GAME OF REGULAR SEASON, ACTIVE TEAM STREAKS Team Streak Start Results – First Road Game San Jose Sharks 7 2012-13 4-1 W at CGY... 4-1 W at VAN... 4-0 W at LAK... 5-1 W at LAK... 3-2 W at CBJ... 3-0 W at NJD... 3-2 W at LAK (OT) Philadelphia Flyers 3 2016-17 4-2 W at LAK... 5-3 W at SJS... 5-2 W at VGK Vegas Golden Knights 2 2017-18 2-1 W at DAL... 2-1 W at MIN (SO) Toronto Maple Leafs 2 2017-18 7-2 W at WPG... 7-6 W at CHI (OT) Ottawa Senators 2 2017-18 3-2 W at VAN (SO)... 5-3 W at TOR * Following their season-opening home-and-home, Vegas will have played nine consecutive regular-season/playoff games against San Jose. Only three other teams in NHL history have contested nine straight regular-season/playoff games against the same opponent: Colorado against Minnesota (7 in 2014 Playoffs, 2 in 2014-15), Ottawa against Toronto (7 in 2004 Playoffs, 2 in 2005-06) and Toronto against Detroit (3 in 1942-43, 6 in 1943 Playoffs). Vegas also plays its final preseason game against San Jose. OFFENSIVE OUTLOOK * William Karlsson (67-67—134 in 164 GP) enters the 2019-20 campaign tied with Jonathan Marchessault (52-82—134 in 159 GP) for the most career regular-season points for the Vegas franchise. Karlsson is the only player to skate in every game in Golden Knights history, lacing up for all 164 regular season games (the only player to do so) and all 27 playoff contests (one of nine to do so). * Alex Tuch posted career highs in goals, assists and points last season (20-32—52 in 74 GP) thanks in part to a 10% increase in his TOI/GP, going from an average of 15:15 in 2017-18 to 16:44 in 2018-19. His average time on ice placed him among the top six forwards who spent the entire campaign with Vegas. * Vegas carried a balanced attack en route to a 13th-place rank in goals last season (249; tied), with their leading scorer (Marchessault) finishing with 59 points – the lowest such total among playoff teams and fourth-lowest in the League overall (ARI: 47, ANA: 48 and NJD: 50). * The Golden Knights now enter their first full season with Mark Stone, Max Pacioretty and Paul Stastny, all additions since the end of their inaugural campaign. Vegas is 10-3-0 in 13 regular-season games with all three players in the lineup, with the trio combining for 14-19—33 in those contests – just two points more than they had in seven playoff games together. Vegas Golden Knights 2019-20 Season Preview VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS WITH STASTNY, STONE AND PACIORETTY IN LINEUP Regular Season (13 GP) Playoffs (7 GP) Combined (20 GP) G A PTS G A PTS G A PTS Paul Stastny 5 10 15 2 6 8 7 16 23 Mark Stone 5 5 10 6 6 12 11 11 22 Max Pacioretty 4 4 8 5 6 11 9 10 19 Trio Combined 14 19 33 13 18 31 27 37 64 Team Record: 10-3-0 in Regular Season | 3-4 in Playoffs THE FUTURE IS NOW * After playing the entire 2018-19 regular-season with the AHL’s Chicago Wolves and helping the club reach the Calder Cup Final, 20-year-old Nicolas Hague will look to make the jump to the NHL. Hague tied for second in regular-season goals among AHL rookie defensemen in 2018-19, totaling 13 goals in 75 games to trail only Dylan Coghlan – another Vegas prospect. * Twenty-two-year-old blueliner Zach Whitecloud had the best plus-minus (+39) of any AHL skater in the 2018-19 regular-season. Whitecloud proceeded to share the team lead with 15 points during Chicago’s run to the Calder Cup Final (3-12—15 in 22 GP), tying three others including fellow AHL rookie Cody Glass (7-8—15 in 22 GP) – the franchise’s first-ever draft pick (6th overall in 2017). * Whitecloud made his NHL debut on April 5, 2018 at age 21 years, 128 days, the youngest skater ever to play for the Golden Knights (goaltender Dylan Ferguson logged 9:14 on Nov. 14, 2017 at age 19 years, 55 days). Tuch is the only other player to skate for Vegas at age 21 or younger, notching 1-1—2 in his team debut on Oct. 15, 2017 at age 21 years, 158 days. BETWEEN THE PIPES * Marc-Andre Fleury enters his 16th NHL season with the eighth-most wins in League history, six back of tying Terry Sawchuk for seventh place all-time.

  • A Great Season for Aurora's Rob Thomas
    This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Thu Sep 30 17:47:02 2021 / +0000 GMT A great season for Aurora's Rob Thomas By Robert Belardi Before the season was halted due to COVID-19, Aurora native and centreman for the St. Louis Blues Robert Thomas was showing signs of improvement in his second season in the NHL. The Stanley Cup Champion recorded eight points in his last 10 games, including an 11-point month in February alone. His lone goal in that spell came against the Chicago Blackhawks at home, back on February 25 to bring the Blues within one goal in the second period. A cross-ice pass from David Perron found Thomas alone in front of goal and the 20-year-old roofed the puck short side. In total this year, Thomas has recorded 10 goals and 32 assists, along with a plus-minus rating of nine. He recorded nine goals and 24 assists in his rookie season last year. He's a quick skater, an agile forward with a nose for the puck and vision like a hawk down the ice. According to SB Nation writer Dan Buffa, written on March 6, Thomas belongs in St. Louis for a long time. In fact, Thomas was almost traded from St. Louis in exchange for Ryan O'Reilly to Buffalo on July 1, 2018. How different the roster would have been if he left. Thankfully, the Blues valued him more than that. The 20th overall draft pick in 2017 adds depth in the centre position that has O'Reilly and Brayden Schenn in the second and first line above him.

  • Injuries Continue to Plague Jets Seven Wounded Players Missed Saturday's Game
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/injuries-continue-to-keep-jets-in-sick- bay-476497963.html?k=QAPMqC Injuries continue to plague Jets Seven wounded players missed Saturday's game By: Mike McIntyre WASHINGTON — Is there a doctor in the house? It’s been a common refrain for the Winnipeg Jets lately, as they just can’t seem to get close to a full, healthy lineup. Seven players were out due to injury in Saturday’s 2-1 loss in Philadelphia. Here’s what we know about all of them, with further updates expected today as the Jets return to action with a morning skate and then their game in Washington against the Capitals. Mark Scheifele has missed two games with a suspected shoulder injury, and there will be no rushing him back into action. He’s considered day-to-day at this point, and coach Paul Maurice had said last week he was a possibility to play either tonight, or tomorrow in Nashville. But don’t bet on it. Defenceman Toby Enstrom is battling a lower-body issue which kept him out for four games, saw him return in New Jersey last Thursday and then be back out on Saturday. Maurice said it’s a nagging thing that can change day-to-day, so his status is very much a question mark. Defenceman Dmitry Kulikov missed Saturday’s game after getting hurt Thursday in New Jersey. Maurice hasn’t said how long he could be out, only that it’s upper-body. Goalie Steve Mason has been sent back to Winnipeg for further testing on a lower-body injury he suffered late in the game against the New York Rangers last Tuesday, which was his first game back from his second concussion of the season.

  • Turnbull Hockey Pool For
    Turnbull Hockey Pool for Each year, Turnbull students participate in several fundraising initiatives, which we promote as a way to develop a sense of community, leadership and social responsibility within the students. Last year's grade 7 and 8 students put forth a great deal of effort campaigning friends and family members to join Turnbull's annual NHL hockey pool, raising a total of $1750 for a charity of their choice (the United Way). This year's group has decided to run the hockey pool for the benefit of Help Lesotho, an international development organization working in the AIDS-ravaged country of Lesotho in southern Africa. From www.helplesotho.org "Help Lesotho’s programs foster hope and motivation in those who are most in need: orphans, vulnerable children, at-risk youth and grandmothers. Our work targets root causes and community priorities, including literacy, youth leadership training, school twinning, child sponsorship and gender programming. Help Lesotho is an effective, sustainable organization that is working at the grass-roots level to support the next generation of leaders in Lesotho." Your participation in this year's NHL hockey pool is very much appreciated. We believe it will provide students and their friends and families an opportunity to have fun together while giving back to their community by raising awareness and funds for a great cause. Prizes: > Grand Prize awarded to contestant whose team accumulates the most points over the regular NHL season = 10" Samsung Galaxy Tablet > Monthly Prizes awarded to the contestants whose teams accumulate the most points over each designated period (see website) = Two Movie Passes How it Works: > Everyone in the community is welcome to join in on the fun.

    NHL MORNING SKATE – FEB. 10, 2021 THREE HARD LAPS * The Golden Knights withstood a three-goal, third-period rally to repel the Ducks, while Evander Kane scored another tying goal in the final minute of regulation for the Sharks. * Defensemen accounted for all three goals as the Oilers won a game in which Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl were both held off of the score sheet for the first time in over three years. * Four Original Six clubs are in action Wednesday, with the Bruins and Rangers squaring off as divisional opponents for the first time since 1973-74 as well as the Maple Leafs and Canadiens clashing at Bell Centre. GOLDEN KNIGHTS, SHARKS TRIUMPH IN HONDA WEST DIVISION THRILLERS Vegas and San Jose edged Anaheim and Los Angeles, respectively, in a pair of back-and-forth Honda West Division contests: * The Ducks scored three consecutive third-period tallies to erase a 4-1 deficit, but Zach Whitecloud netted the go-ahead goal with 3:56 remaining in regulation as the Golden Knights improved to 8-1-1 (17 points) on the season including a 7-0-1 mark at T-Mobile Arena. * Marc-Andre Fleury (19 saves) improved to 5-0-0 through five appearances this season with a 1.80 goals-against average, .920 save percentage and one shutout. Fleury also owns a 16-4-1 record in 23 career appearances in games where Ryan Miller has manned the opposing crease (Miller: 5-12-2). * The Kings scored three consecutive goals to take a 3-2 lead, but Evander Kane tied the game at 19:15 of the third period and Logan Couture (1-1—2) netted the shootout winner as the Sharks won the first of two straight games against their intrastate rival.
