It’s a well-known fact that the Vegas Golden Knights play well against the western conference this season. For the record, The Knights are a combined 16-3-0 against the west this season. However, it isn’t all sunshine and rainbows when playing eastern conference teams.
One of the Achilles heels the Golden Knights have had all year is playing against the east. Entering Tuesday’s action, the team is 3-6-1 when playing against eastern conference clubs this year. The Knights play against the opposite conference for five straight games at home so needless to say this is a big stretch.
The Golden Knights finally have Marc-Andre Fleury back in the crease as he got the start against the Carolina Hurricanes.
