Golden Knights Go to the Mullet to Take on the Coyotes from Arizona
Can the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Arizona Coyotes and avoid the dreaded letdown game? The Golden Knights, who ended the Edmonton Oilers’ 16-game winning streak on Tuesday, travelled to Arizona with a sense of accomplishment. The favourites at DraftKings Sportsbook are the Golden Knights, minus -135.
The Golden Knights could be in for a disappointing game. The Golden Knights should win this game based on all the indications. In addition, the Golden Knights’ game against the Coyotes in Vegas on November 25th ought to have been a victory. Rather, the Coyotes triumphed 2-0 over the Golden Knights.
The Coyotes can draw inspiration from some materials on the bulletin board. In his Stanley Cup championship speech, William Karlsson mentioned how the Golden Knights “beat the shit” out of the Arizona Coyotes in the first season. The Coyotes also have something to cling to thanks to coach Bruce Cassidy.
“We gave away 24 things. After falling short against the Dallas Stars in a playoff game the previous season, Cassidy said, “I’m not sure you’re beating the Arizona Coyotes in January with 24 giveaways.” “It’s not the right way to play, no offence to Arizona.”
The Golden Knights have a 7-2-1 record after ten games going into this one on Thursday. The record of the Golden Knights away from T-Mobile Arena is 11-10-4. The Coyotes have a 15-9-0 home record and are 4-5-1 in their last ten games.
The Coyotes may need some time to get their bearings. Jan. 27 was the Coyotes’ most recent game. When facing the Coyotes, the Golden Knights will try to get an early advantage.
Ivan Barbashev, Jonathan Marchessault, and Nic Roy, the recently formed line, are still very hot. Marchessault had an assist and Roy scored a goal in Tuesday’s victory over the Oilers. Chandler Stephenson contributed an assist and the game-winning goal. The first goal William Karlsson scored in a game since the Winter Classic was an empty net goal.
As of this writing, it is unknown who the Golden Knights’ starting goaltender is. According to DailyFaceoff.com, Logan Thompson is the probable starter. The Golden Knights did not practise with Adin Hill on Wednesday, and no explanation for Hill’s absence was given.
In his last two starts, both of which ended in losses, Thompson allowed 10 goals on 66 shots faced. In his last three starts, Hill has been extremely effective, going 3-0 while giving up five goals on 111 shots.
The Coyotes’ projected starter, Connor Ingram, is 17-11-1 with a 2.6 GAA and.916 SV%. The last time these two teams played, Ingram completely silenced the Golden Knights.
