If the Golden Knights want to enter the NHL All-Star break on a winning streak, they’ll have to earn it.
The Knights head into the break with three consecutive games against teams in line to make the playoffs entering Friday’s games: The Pittsburgh Penguins, Minnesota Wild and Nashville Predators. Vegas welcomes the Penguins at 7 p.m. Saturday at T-Mobile Arena.
“You had Winnipeg last game, then Pittsburgh and Minnesota and Nashville. Those are all elite teams in this league,” defenseman Deryk Engelland said. “We have to take it one game at a time, but they’re definitely measuring sticks for us.
