It is a vital stretch of games for the Vegas Golden Knights who have already won two divisional contests this year after beating up on the San Jose Sharks in the opening two games of the 2019-20 NHL regular season.
They did suffer their first loss of the year on Tuesday after going down 4-3 to the Boston Bruins at T-Mobile Arena, but they now have a golden opportunity to pick up some huge wins and get a headstart in the Pacific Division.
But it won’t be easy. The Arizona Coyotes, although they are currently sitting at 0-2-0, have played well enough in their opening two games of the year and their game is based on hard work, structure and a solid defense.
