On the eve of another Christmas, we know this about the Golden Knights:
As bad as they have been hit with injuries, as much as goalie Marc-Andre Fleury has played, as often as they have been on the road, the team finds itself in a playoff position within the Pacific Division.
That, and if you’re an opponent that reaches overtime against the Knights, know it will only take one shot to beat them.
Because someone is bound to get lost defensively or, as happened with defenseman Nate Schmidt on Sunday, make a bad change.
I’m sure all the Knights wanted for the holiday was consecutive home wins and four points, but should consider themselves fortunate to enter a three-day break with two, this following a 4-3 overtime defeat to the Kings before an announced Frosty-white crowd of 18,225 at T-Mobile Arena.
