Kudos to the Golden Knights on ending the Bruins' NHL-record 14-game home winning streak two days ago. That was a highly emotional win for Las Vegas and Bruce Cassidy, who had coached the Bruins for six seasons before he was fired this past June. The Golden Knights really wanted to win that game for Cassidy.

That game also was the finale of a successful four-game East Coast trip where the Golden Knights went 3-1. Now the Golden Knights fly cross country heading home fat and happy.

Waiting for the Golden Knights are the Rangers, who happen to be coached by Gerard Gallant. He was Las Vegas' first coach leading them to the Stanley Cup final as an expansion team in 2018. Gallant did an excellent job with the Golden Knights. It was surprising when the team fired him in January of 2020.

The Rangers have underachieved but they are a good team and I expect them to play well in this matchup. They are off a 6-4 home win against the Blues this past Monday.

The Golden Knights are 2-4 in their last six home games.
