Thanks to the NHL’s Return To Play Plan, we are on the cusp of having Vegas Golden Knights hockey back at some point this summer.
And, thanks to the NHL, we will be treated to postseason hockey straight away with the Golden Knights diving straight into the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Granted, they will have to contest a three-game, in-conference round-robin tournament against the St. Louis Blues, the Colorado Avalanche and the Dallas Stars first in order to determine seeding, while the 16 other teams battle it out in Play-In games.
But we know Vegas will be in the Stanley Cup Playoffs no matter what happens, as long as hockey can return this year, and it gives the Golden Knights a chance to finish what they started in 2019-20.
