SAN JOSE, Calif. — There wasn’t much of a celebration for the Golden Knights after they clinched a playoff spot Friday night when the Arizona Coyotes lost at Colorado.
The schedule didn’t allow it.
After the Knights lost their fourth straight game, 3-2 to Minnesota at T-Mobile Arena, they boarded a plane for Saturday night’s game against San Jose.
“It’s a quick turnaround here with the back-to-back,” defenseman Colin Miller said. “We just got up here and tried to get some rest and get ready for the game.”
Even if the Knights had an opportunity to celebrate, the losing streak might have dampened their enthusiasm about returning to the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
