Much like a room with no designated captain, Vegas seems intent, until the market forces a change in thinking or, well, William Karlsson scores 43 goals in a season again, to keep things fairly consistent when it comes to paying guys.
It makes a 3-1 victory by the Golden Knights on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena all the more impressive.
It hasn’t been the best of starts to a second season for Vegas, now 3-4 after beating Buffalo on Tuesday and yet missing key names all over the ice.
Philadelphia wasn’t suffering from any sort of Vegas Flu but made the Golden Knights look ill, rolling to a 5-2 win Thursday night before a crowd of 18,555 at T-Mobile Arena.
Max Pacioretty has 30 or more goals in six of his last eight professional seasons, here now after the Golden Knights traded Tomas Tatar, prospect Nick Suzuki and a second-round pick to Montreal for him.
