Three Key Players Leave The Golden Knights Before Crucial Division Game
At the moment, the Golden Knights hold the leading position in the Pacific Division. As the regular season draws to a close with only ten games left, each point becomes crucial, making tonight's divisional match against the Oilers a four-point game. Given the narrow six-point gap between the top three teams, the outcome of this clash could result in a significant shift in the rankings.
Unfortunately, it seems the Golden Knights have run out of luck; they will have notable voids to fill for tonight's game.
Three Key Players Leave The Golden Knights Before Crucial Division Game
The team has confirmed that forward Reilly Smith and goaltender Logan Thompson have left the ongoing road trip to return to Vegas for injury evaluations. Meanwhile, defenseman Alec Martinez has also returned to Vegas due to personal reasons.
With the playoffs looming, the Golden Knights hope that Smith, Thompson, and Martinez will recover quickly and rejoin the team in top form. Until then, the focus is on securing crucial points in the standings and maintaining their position in the playoff race.
