In the words of the great Babe Ruth, “never let the fear of striking out get in your way.” The Vegas Golden Knights adopted that mantra on Monday as they again showed their aggressive streak.
While teams around them in an ultra-competitive Pacific Division improved, just look at the moves made by the Edmonton Oilers, the Golden Knights bided their time until pouncing.
With minutes remaining, it was announced that the Knights had pulled off a stunning trade for Chicago Blackhawks goalie Robin Lehner.
They also added depth forward Nick Cousins from the Montreal Canadiens, before re-signing defenseman Nick Holden to an extension.
