Prior to the start of this five-game homestand, the Vegas Golden Knights were slumping badly with a 2-2-1 record to begin the month of February.
They couldn’t get out of their own way and they were lurching from one disaster to the next in a year that hasn’t lived up to lofty expectations yet.
However, a return to home ice has sparked an upturn in fortunes with the Knights having now won three consecutive games.
Vegas began the homestand by stunning the St. Louis Blues in a wild but error-laden 6-5 overtime win, before showing a different side to their game by grinding out a 1-0 shutout win over the New York Islanders.
