LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Vegas Golden Knights finished off their four-game home stand with a 4-2 win over Columbus, where Jack Eichel tallied his 500th NHL career point.
Monday night, the Knights begin an important road trip, but will do so without two key players.
Defenseman Alex Pietrangelo did not travel with the team to St. Louis and is expected to miss his fourth straight game due to an illness.
Goaltender Adin Hill also did not travel with the team, head coach Bruce Cassidy said after morning skate on Monday, and they are unsure how long he will be out.
