Vegas Golden Knights fans have felt like they've gotten a lump of coal in their stockings this season. The weird start has been compounded with overtime loss after overtime loss, along with devastating injuries to players like Jack Eichel and Shea Theodore. Certainly, that trend should continue towards the end of the season, right? Certainly, you should blame the Grinch for all of this.
Well, here's the thing. The Golden Knights have some good news on the homefront. Aside from names like William Karlsson and Adin Hill aiming to return around late January and February, Vegas actually has an unexpected Christmas gift: an easy schedule.
