The Golden Knights hold a 7-2-1 record all-time against the Blackhawks at T-Mobile Arena.
With just 24 games remaining in the regular season, the Golden Knights have their sights set on finishing atop the Pacific Division. With Edmonton and Los Angeles just a few points behind, Vegas knows every game is important.
As the Golden Knights continue to build their game late in the season, head coach Bruce Cassidy mentioned the importance of players being predictable and reliable to help the team win on a nightly basis.
