The Golden Knights travel to Los Angeles to conclude the regular season Saturday with nothing on the line.
But that doesn’t mean the game is meaningless. Not after the way the Knights played in a 4-1 loss to Arizona in the home finale Thursday at T-Mobile Arena.
“Last night was probably the worst game that we’ve played in the history of our team,” defenseman Nate Schmidt said after Friday’s practice at City National Arena. “Collectively, we were just bad outside of (goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury).”
Fleury played for the first time since March 15 and looked sharp at times despite being under siege because of defensive lapses and inexplicable turnovers.
