DENVER — There were no corks popping or champagne showers in the Golden Knights locker room after snapping a five-game home losing streak with a 5-1 win over Nashville on Saturday night.
But there was no denying a level of excitement not usually seen following a regular-season victory in mid-February.
“I didn’t go in after the game, but it was pretty noisy in there,” Knights’ coach Gerard Gallant said. “They were pretty excited and pretty happy. Our guys have been disappointed. You’ve seen me up here the last three or four times not too happy. Our guys are no different than what I am.
