The Vegas Golden Knights were shut out by the New York Islanders, 4-0, on Thursday. It's the first time that the Golden Knights have been held scoreless since Nov.
On the same Thursday where GM Lou Lamoriello said the Islanders can turn their season around, the team responded by beating the NHL’s top team.
Against Boston, the Islanders outshot the Bruins 12-6 when the top line was on the ice, outchancing them 15-8 and outscoring them 3-1 in a 5-4 overtime win. Then, in Vegas, a 4-0 win, they outshot the Golden Knights 5-4, out-chanced them 7-5, and outscored them 3-1.
With Stone on the ice at even strength, the Golden Knights hold a 55.52 percent expected goal share, which is the highest of any player on the team. He’s also one of the biggest reasons why Vegas’ power play has been as effective as it has. His decision-making and execution along the goal line on that unit have been excellent.
The first three-game winning streak of the season for the New York Islanders gave them a chance to keep their playoff hopes alive during their longest homestand of the campaign.
