Advertise on podcast: Locked On Golden Knights - Daily Podcast On the Vegas Golden Knights

The Golden Knights will have to bounce back from their worst loss of the season.  We are guessing Ryan Craig will simplify the game for VGK tonight after a number of costly turnovers in the 6-2 loss to Tampa Bay.  The Golden Knights were chasing the game and were "too cute" according to Ryan Craig, which led to an up and down the ice affair.  Alexander Holtz was called up from Henderson yesterday.  Is his call-up an insurance policy for the road swing, will he replace someone like Lavoie, or was a player like William Karlsson injured in the Lightning game?  We will find out more today.  Lukas Cormier was placed on waivers in a corresponding move.  We also have our Locks, Props and Chance for tonight's matchup.

The Golden Knights fell to the Lightning 6-2 in last night's contest at T-Mobile Arena.  Four of Tampa's goals were unassisted in a turnover-filled up-and-down the ice affair.  The two biggest turnovers came when Jack Eichel gave up the puck in front of the crease and Anthony Cirelli scored the first of his two goals.  A turnover on a lazy Rasmus Andersson pass led to a Nikita Kucherov breakaway goal.  Andersson was also caught up in a bad line change that gave John Carlson a clear path to the net and he beat Carter Hart on a rebound.  Ivan Barbashev and Mark Stone scored the VGK goals on Tampa Bay turnovers.  Did the Lighting expose VGK in the game and is winning sustainable in the future for VGK, especially against upper echelon teams?  We also address VGK's shaky special teams.   FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.

Our lively debate about whether the fast start is Fool's Gold for VGK.  Among the topics:  is this pace sustainable, how Ryan Craig has managed the team, goaltending and defensemen, and Cup contender?

VGK will face a Tampa Bay team that has given up the fourth fewest shots on goal this season when the two teams tangle tonight at T-Mobile Arena.  We shouldn't see open ice the way we did with recent games versus Calgary, Nashville and even Pittsburgh.  This is the first of three games against Western Conference contenders for Tampa.  The Lightning are 5-0 at home and have two losses, both to the Rangers.  They have plenty of firepower to score, so VGK will also have to cover a lot of ice defensively.  We discuss the impact Jack Eichel has had on VGK in the first month of the season.  And, we have our Locks, Props and Chance for tonight's game.  FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.

VGK's defensemen scored half of the team's goals in Saturday's 6-2 win over a tired Pittsburgh Penguins team. Rasmus Andersson and Noah Hanifin started off the scoring in the first four minutes and Shea Theodore added a goal later in the game.  VGK ran its current win streak to three games.  One of the highlights of the game came on a Trevor Connelly steal of Sidney Crosby and dashing down ice to score his fourth goal.  Adin Hill got his fourth win of the season.  We assess VGK through its first ten games of the season and how Ryan Craig is handling his first season as the head man behind the bench.  VGK has won 8 of its first 10 games.  FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.

Mark Stone scored a natural hat trick with all three goals coming in the third period, to propel VGK to a 6-2 win over the hapless Flames. The Golden Knights got on the board early on a Brett Howden goal just :25 into the game.  That set the tone.  VGK went ahead 2-0 on a Jack Eichel steal and breakaway goal. Braeden Bowman scored a goal and it was off to the races.  Carter Hart got the win in net for VGK.  We preview the Golden Knights-Penguins game Saturday night as the Pens come into town on the tail end of a back to back.  And we have WTF - What The &^%$ Friday - with fan comments.   FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.

Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay are also on this homestand.  We talk about Tomas Hertl and how he is off to the fast start with seven points and four goals.  He is leading a line with two rookies Connelly and Lavoie.

Five different Golden Knights scored goals in Nashville last night as VGK split the road trip and and back-to-back with a 5-2 win against the Predators,  William Karlsson scored his second goal in two nights to give VGK the lead late in the second period. And, Trevor Connelly and Brett Howden scored insurance goals late.  VGK's penalty kill gave them momentum after two penalties expired.  VGK scored :10 after the PK was successful on a Tomas Hertl goal.  And Jack Eichel scored his fourth goal of the season four-seconds after a penalty expired.  We talk about the VGK Power(less) Play, which went 0-7 on this mini road swing.  And, we talk about Bruce Cassidy, who is with Team Canada's Women's Team as an advisor.  FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.

Trevor Connelly scored the game winning goal in a shootout and VGK rallied from a 3-0 deficit to top the Maple Leafs 4-3. Both Connelly and fellow rookie Braeden Bowman scored in the five round shootout, which showed Ryan Craig has a lot of confidence in his former Silver Knights teammates.  Adin Hill shook off a miserable start, letting up his first goal in the first minute of the game.  Toronto scored on 3 of its first 8 shots.  After that, Hill stood on his head and VGK rallied behind goals by Mark Stone, Brett Howden and Jack Eichel, who potted his second career penalty shot.  We preview this weekend's matchup with the L.A. Kings and we have our WTF segment!  FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states. First online real money wager only. Bonus issued as nonwithdrawable free bets that expires in 14 days.

The Toronto Maple Leafs return to T-Mobile Arena for a second time - but it appear Toronto fans still harbor hard feelings toward their hometown star.  Mitch Marner was a scapegoat for the Leafs lack of success in Toronto.  Fans were not thrilled he didn't sign an extension to stay with the team and talked at the end of last season about "dark times" in Toronto,  VGK will probably play without Victor Olafsson tonight - he was rammed into the boards on a dirty play Tuesday night in Seattle.  We will see who Ryan Craig goes to, Both teams look different with Jim Hiller and Ryan Craig now behind the benches. We talk about the slow start for VGK's second line which has just three points, two by Marner, in the first four games.  That line has been the least productive so far.  We talk about what has gone wrong with the second line.  And, we have our Locks, Props and Chance for the game.  FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.

VGK was in control of last night's game in Seattle.  Everything was clicking as the Golden Knights they scored 5v5, on the power play twice, and even had a shorthanded goal by Mark Stone.  VGK after two periods had chased goalie Joey Daccord.  But the third period was filled with a lot of action.  Everything started with a boarding penalty on Ben Meyers that injured Victor Olaffson, who already had two goals in the game and four for the young season. VGK players including Mark Stone and Marc Gatcomb dropped the gloves in Olaf's defense. A total of 65 penalty minutes were assessed, mostly in the third period. VGK won the game 6-2.  Jack Eichel, for a second year, is the first NHL player to 10 points he and Tomas Hertl had four point nights. Carter Hart notched the win for the VGK, his second.  Who gets the call if Olafsson is out for an extended period?  Raphael Lavoie and Jonas Rondbjerg are the logical choices.  We talk about VGK sticking together through last night's game as well.    FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.
