Blues News
With a team that knows how to combine both young and seasoned veterans in their roster, the Blues are visiting Vegas to show their most recent improvements in their team and a most noticeable offense that has been carried by the young star Jordan Kyrou.
Besides the great moment that the youngster is going through along with his teammates, the Blues have been positioned themselves in a great spot for the beginning of this season with a record of 2-0, not only starting off strong but doing it by beating great teams taking the puck at home on several occasions.
Skills and progression have been the two key points to take away during this great run so far, while the older players praise what the new kids on the team are bringing to win hockey games.
Golden Knights Nights
Vegas nights spotlights will be put on next Thursday over the Golden Knights at the T-Mobile arena to receive one of the hottest teams in hockey for what we have seen so far. Coming from a very tough loss against the LA Kings by a four-goal difference last game, the Golden Knights have work to do at the defensive end and avoid allowing the puck to go into the goal line to maintain a competitive advantage against the Blues.
Since the last series, in which they came up 4-3 to leave the Blues behind, this team appears to be familiar going into this matchup for what looks like another great night of hockey between these two.
An offense that is led by Max Pacioretty, assisted by Mark Stone, could take the VGK to a victory as long as they can stop the opponent’s offense in defense, for a win that is mostly needed for this team at this point.
