Vegas Golden Podcast

The save and the Oilers

It's been an eventful stretch for the Vegas Golden Knights, which ride a two-game winning streak into a pair of Pacific Division showdowns. Justin Emerson and Case Keefer explain why they like where the team is sitting on this week’s episode.

Athletes are never supposed to look past the game standing right in front of them, but there's no such rule applying to fans and media.

So while the Golden Knights host the rival San Jose Sharks in the teams' third meeting of the season tonight at T-Mobile Arena, the contest looming larger might be a Saturday season-series-opening date with the Edmonton Oilers. Saturday's game dominates conversation in the latest weekly episode of Vegas Golden Podcast, presented by the Credit One Bank Vegas Born card.

Edmonton sits in first in the Pacific Division with both Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl having stood out among the best players in the NHL through two months. But it looks like Vegas is ready to climb the standings, especially after the Golden Knights outlasted the Maple Leafs in arguably the best game of their season so far.

The Golden Knights also stifled the Flames 6-0 a few nights before, meaning they could go undefeated in a four-game home stand with wins over the Sharks and Oilers.

Listen to breakdowns of both games along with talk on everything else going on with the Golden Knights to the right. Find the rest of the episodes here and subscribe on your favorite podcast-catching app.
