6:05 PM EST. OT included. There are many theories as to why the Golden Knights are winning so frequently but we’re not going to worry about that. What we’re seeing is a team that has gotten progressively better each week. While we completely respect the Sharks, their players and their coach, we cannot overlook this Knights’ squad any longer.

Vegas went into Anaheim on Wednesday and made the Ducks look like a minor league team in beating them 4-2 but outshooting them, 49-19. They out-Corsied the Ducks by an incredible count of 69-28. Against the Kings the previous game, the Golden Knights outshot, out-chanced and out-Corsied (63-46) them as well. It’s not just the past two games and it’s not just at home either. This is a squad that held a Corsi For edge in recent road games in Toronto, Montreal and of course Anaheim. They have held eight of their last nine opponents to 29 shots or less and two of their last three opponents to 21 shots on net or less. Since the beginning of November, Vegas ranks 11th in Corsi For % during five-on-five play and fifth in Corsi against during five-on-five play. What Vegas is accomplishing is no fluke. The Knights are moving the puck quickly and efficiently out of its own end. They have a number of quality forwards that are all playing at a high level. They have team chemistry and confidence. They have made winning in their barn very difficult indeed and part of that could be because the rink is so unfamiliar to the opposition and now very familiar to them. The Sharkies have never played in Vegas before or faced this team in San Jose either and could easily be its next victim.
