VGK looks to continue late-season surge vs Canucks
Listen now
Description
The Golden Knights return home following a successful four-game road swing tonight as they face the division-leading Vancouver Canucks. Both teams have eight games remaining. VGK looks to close the gap on the Canucks, who lead the Pacific by ten points, and the Edmonton Oilers, who lead VGK by five points. Suddenly, the Golden Knights have 90 points. VGK lost the last meeting against Vancouver 3-1 on home ice. VGK had a difficult time breaking out of the neutral zone in that game. We will see if the Golden Knights have improved since the last meeting when they take the ice this evening at the Fortress. The Canucks are without starting goaltender Thatcher Demko, who has 34 wins on the season. We will probably see Casey DeSmith in net for the Canucks tonight. VGK saw new acquisition Tomas Hertl make his debut on the ice at practice yesterday, albeit in a non-contact jersey. We talk about "The Spirit Of The (Salary) Cap" and we have our Locks and Predictions for tonight's battle.
