NEW YORK — Now that the Golden Knights have the hockey world’s attention with their 8-1 start, it becomes a question of sustainability.
Can they keep it going now that they’ve departed the friendly confines of T-Mobile Arena? Can they build on what they’ve already accomplished in their three weeks of existence?
The Knights begin a six-game road trip Monday in Brooklyn against the New York Islanders with a gaudy 8-1 record which included a 6-1 performance in their first homestand. Only a 6-3 loss to Detroit on Oct. 13, due to a third-period meltdown which saw the Red Wings score four goals, has prevented the Knights from perfection.
