After all, the Vegas Golden Knights had dropped five straight and lost seven of eight heading into this Pacific Division Matchup, a day after losing a tough one to the LA Kings.
And, the Golden Knights had a plethora of blown leads to their name, while they hadn’t really played a full 60-minute game since the early days of October.
So, the Knights would have taken a win against the Flames in any way it came, even if it was an ugly one-goal game.
At this point, it didn’t matter.
However, with the pressure mounting, the Golden Knights retreated to the war room, got their game face on and came out with a killer instinct that had been lacking for some time.
