So far, the Golden Knights’ first homestand has been a mixed bag.
There was a blowout 5-2 win in the home opener against Arizona. There was the 3-2 lead against Detroit, which resulted in a 6-3 loss following a third-period collapse. There was as close to a complete game as the team has played in defeating Boston 3-1. And there was the third-period parade to the penalty box against Buffalo, which rallied from a 4-1 deficit to force overtime only to have David Perron’s goal bail out the Knights.
The bottom line? The Knights are off to a 5-1 start overall, 3-1 on the homestand and in second place in the Pacific Division heading into Saturday’s game against St.
