Knights Right Back at It
The Vegas Golden Knights haven’t missed a beat since winning their first-ever Stanley Cup last Summer, starting off the 2023-24 regular season with three consecutive wins, all coming against average or below average competition. Now Head Coach Bruce Cassidy will lead his troops into another home contest against the Dallas Stars, the NHL team they dismantled in six games of the 2023 Western Conference Finals to win the Clarence Campbell Trophy and advance to the Stanley Cup Final.
After beating the Seattle Kraken 4-1 on an emotional Opening Night with their banner ceremony taking place pre-game, Vegas beat Pacific Division doormats San Jose and Anaheim, all by identical NHL scores of 4-1. Goaltender Adin Hill has been sharp in both of his starts along with Logan Thompson. The offense is led by centermen Jack Eichel, who has two goals and two assists to start the year, and Chandler Stephenson, who has scored two goals and three assists for a grand total of five points in three games played.
Defenseman Zach Whitecloud, is still out week-to-week with a lower body issue, as is veteran blueliner Alec Martinez, and depth forward William Carrier.
Starry Start in Dallas
The Dallas Stars opened their 2023-2024 regular season campaign with a 2-1 shootout victory over Central Division foe St. Louis on Saturday night for their first win of the new year. Captain Jamie Benn scored the only goal in regulation just 18 seconds into the second period. Shootout goals from forwards Jason Robertson and Matt Duchene and 23 saves from Jake Oettinger in regulation and the shootout sealed the victory for the Stars, who now face-off with the Vegas Golden Knights for the first time since being eliminated in six games last Summer.
With a veteran-laden club led by Benn, Duchene, Tyler Seguin, Joe Pavelski and new NHL free agents 2023 additions Max Domi and Tyler Bertuzzi to compliment “J.R.”, the Stars have improved offense, size and toughness to compete with upper echelon squads like Vegas. And when he’s on his game, Jake Oettinger is one of the best goaltenders in all of the National Hockey League.
