With the earth-shattering news of Wednesday now in the rearview mirror, the Vegas Golden Knights (25-19-6) can once again focus on hockey before the All-Star Break.
Peter DeBoer, who was named as Gerard Gallant‘s replacement on Wednesday, earned his first win on Thursday thanks to the Knights’ win over the Ottawa Senators.
Attention will now switch to the Canadiens (21-21-7) who are 6th in the Atlantic Division with 49 points from 49 games following a 3-6-1 record in their last 10 outings.
Despite boasting Carey Price in goal, Montreal is not living up to expectations and they will have a decision to make soon as to whether or not they will be buyers or sellers at the Trade Deadline.
