Sunday's victory over the Colorado Avalanche wasn't as convincing as Saturday's. You see, the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Avalanche, 3-2, marking a perfect 2-0 run at the 2025 Rookie Showcase. Obviously, that's dwarfed by an 8-1 rear-kicking delivered to the Stormin' Mammoth of Utah.
It's a convincing victory for people who thought the Golden Knights had a mediocre farm system. Some experts had the system ranked at the bottom throughout the NHL landscape. That's a small consequence for a competing team looking for another Stanley Cup.
Hey, some things require small sacrifices.
Still, an impressive showing requires looking at who shined.
