LAS VEGAS – It’s not ideal to come home from a grueling 5,200-mile road trip and then play back-to-back games. That’s the challenge that is front of the Vegas Golden Knights as they host the Winnipeg Jets at T-Mobile Arena on Friday. The puck drop is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Pacific time.
“Not the best schedule right now. I think everybody goes through it, especially this year with the Four Nations,” Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy said. “It’s really condensed, so we’re hitting it now. I think Winnipeg’s going through it now. Other teams might be later, but for us it’s now.
