Needless to say, the last few weeks haven't been kind to the Vegas Golden Knights. In nine games since the end of an incredible eastern road trip, Vegas has posted a 1-5-3 record, with the sole victory being a 7-2 beatdown of the Sharks.
Between poor goaltending, blown leads, unreliable defense, and many other factors, the Golden Knights have looked mediocre at best and outright awful at worst, with some even questioning Bruce Cassidy's job security. At what amounts to a 17-23 overall record, is it truly time for Vegas fans to panic, or is this just an early start to the annual and expected January slump?
