Beginning the year by facing the San Jose Sharks in a home-and-home double header, the Vegas Golden Knights beat up on their bitter rivals in both games, outscoring their opponents 9-2 with Marc-Andre Fleury stopping 55 of 57 shots.
The way in which the Knights breezed past the Sharks was breathtaking and they got production up and down the lineup, particularly in the second game when Tomas Nosek recorded a three-point night (two goals, one assist) and William Carrier, Valentin Zykov and Brandon Pirri all registered a point.
