6-17-1 Season Record
November Recap
The struggles continue for the Golden Knights, as they currently sit tied with the Oilers at the bottom of the standings with 13 points and 6 wins. Although GM Dustin re-assured the fans that he was going to build a competitive team right away, its safe to say now that Vegas will certainly finish in the bottom 5 this season and will be competing for the first overall pick in the 2018 NHL entry draft.
When asked about his thoughts on the matter, Dustin was relatively quiet.
"On the bright side, we have a good chance at Dahlin." We hope for him and the Knights that this would in fact be the outcome of what is turning out to be a disastrous season.
Marian Gaborik returned to the lineup for 5 games, scoring only 1 goal while seeing time in the top 6. However fans will have to wait longer to see if the aging winger can still produce for the team, as he has been sidelined again for 3-4 weeks with an elbow sprain after colliding into his own net trying to break up a 2 on 1.
Brandon Gaunce also made a return to action, suiting up for 1 game, recording 1 assist before being sent down to the minors where he has accumulated 2 points in 4 games.
Sam Bennett has only 2 points in 8 games for the Knights while playing on the top line. We expect this to change once he starts feeling more comfortable with his new team. Bennett has the skill set to record a multi point night on any night and is a volatile player against the opposition, and still has room to grow.
