WASHINGTON — The Golden Knights lost their Stanley Cup Final rematch Wednesday mostly because they couldn’t stop the Washington Capitals’ two-headed behemoth of Evgeny Kuznetsov and Alex Ovechkin.
Their reprieve is playing two future Hall of Fame centers Thursday.
The Knights’ next stop is Pittsburgh to face Sidney Crosby, Evegeni Malkin and the rest of the Penguins in the first of 12 back-to-back scenarios for Vegas this season.
“That’s hockey. You’ve got to make sure now that we get on the plane, get to Pittsburgh and we’re focused on that,” defenseman Nick Holden said after the Knights’ 5-2 loss to the Capitals.
