GOLDEN KNIGHTS LAST GAME RECAP
January 16 – Vegas Golden Knights 0, Dallas Stars 4
The Vegas Golden Knights (28-15-2) were shut out by the Dallas Stars (26-12-7) in a 4-0 loss on Monday afternoon at T-Mobile Arena. Jamie Benn opened the scoring at 5:45 of the first period and the Stars took that lead into the intermission. In the middle frame, Joel Kiviranta extended the Dallas lead to 2-0. In the third, Ryan Suter and Tyler Seguin scored in the third to seal the 4-0 victory in Pete DeBoer’s return to Las Vegas.
LAST GAME BY THE NUMBERS
- Monday was was the first time this season that the Golden Knights have been shut out
- Reilly Smith matched his career high of hits in a game with 7 (last Nov. 7, 2015)
Killing It
The Vegas Golden Knights have been shorthanded 31 times in their last nine games and have allowed just three goals. Vegas’ penalty kill is at an all-time high, with a 89.7% kill percentage in the last seven games (4th in NHL).
Fourth Line Magic
The fourth line of Nicolas Roy, Keegan Kolesar, and William Carrier have accumulated a combined 12 points in six games (5-7—12) to be the highest offensive producing line for Vegas during the streak. Roy recently saw a four-game point streak come to an end on Saturday against Edmonton (3-2—5), and Kolesar and Carrier both had points in back-to-back games. All three were the key to Vegas’ comeback win over the Panthers on Jan. 12 after Roy’s goal put the Golden Knights on the board with a feed from Kolesar, and it was then Carrier who tallied his team-leading fifth game-winning goal of the season.
The Shorty King
Reilly Smith netted his fourth shorthanded goal of the season on Dec. 15 in Chicago, which leads the league. Smith’s 12 shorthanded goals since joining Vegas in 2017-18 are the most in franchise history. The Golden Knights lead the NHL with the most shorthanded goals by a team with seven on the season (tied with PHI).
Spreading the Wealth
Eight Golden Knights have recorded 20 or more points this season, and 13 have 10 or more. Chandler Stephenson leads the club with 40 points, followed by Mark Stone with 38 points, and Jack Eichel with 33 points.
Golden Knights Point Leaders
- Chandler Stephenson – 40 (11G, 29A)
- Mark Stone – 38 (17G, 21A)
- Jack Eichel – 33 (15G, 18A)
- William Karlsson – 30 (9G, 21A)
- Reilly Smith – 29 (18G, 11A)
Against the Red Wings
Vegas’ contest with Detroit on Thursday is the last of two meetings this season. The Golden Knights own a 4-3-1 record against the Red Wings, and went 1-1-0 in their series in 2021-22. In their previous meeting, Vegas came away with a dominant 4-1 win at Little Caesar’s Arena. Jack Eichel, Jonathan Marchessault, Phil Kessel, and Reilly Smith all scored to put the Golden Knights on top and Adin Hill made 24 saves good for a .96 save percentage. Vegas has the opportunity to sweep another regular season series with a win over Detroit (Chicago, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg).
