The Vegas Golden Knights enter Sunday night still searching for traction after another tight loss underscored how thin the margin has become.
Vegas (17-10-11, 45 points) visits the Chicago Blackhawks (16-18-7, 39 points) at United Center as part of its first road trip of the new year, sitting second in the Pacific Division, one point behind Edmonton and tied on points with Anaheim. The Golden Knights have lost three straight games in regulation, all by one goal, despite allowing a season-low 19 shots in consecutive games.
After Friday’s 4-3 loss in St. Louis, head coach Bruce Cassidy was blunt about what continues to separate Vegas from results.
