After taking five points from a possible six on the three-game road trip last week, the Vegas Golden Knights returned to T-Mobile Arena today to take on the New York Rangers, a team they beat last week.
But the Blueshirts were baying for blood and revenge and they got it, jumping out to a quick lead before going on to dominate the rest of the contest on the way to a 5-0 win.
However, the worst part of the night, and something that could have long-term consequences for this team, took place in the second period.
Playing the puck along the boards, Cody Glass took a hit from the Rangers’ Brendan Lemieux in the corner, with the latter’s elbow coming up to hit the rookie in the head.
