Vegas Golden Knights coach Bruce Cassidy is happy with how his team has responded against the upper echelon of teams during its recent run. The Golden Knights have won six of their last seven with twins over the Winnipeg Jets (twice), Edmonton Oilers, Dallas Stars and Minnesota Wild.
Most recently, the Golden Knights defeated the Vancouver Canucks, last year’s Pacific Division winner, 3-1 at T-Mobile Arena on Thursday.
One consistent factor in all those victories is how the Golden Knights have performed with a lead in the third period. Four of the five wins over those teams have been one-goal affairs.
