How to talk to your kids about the Oilers
Justin Emerson and Case Keefer break down another winning stretch of Vegas Golden Knights' hockey and look ahead to their upcoming Western Canadian swing, discussing how they will manage the goalie rotation and injury situation.
The road is getting at least a little bit rockier.
Everything went smoothly for the Vegas Golden Knights in February, especially with the way the month ended on an eight-game win streak. Vegas is 1-1 so far in March, however, with a tougher stretch straight ahead.
The Golden Knights head to Winnipeg today to start a 5-game road trip that will test the relatively beaten-up team’s resolve. They play three of the four Western Canadian NHL franchises — everyone except the Vancouver Canucks — over the next five days.
This week’s episode of Vegas Golden Podcast, presented by the Credit One Bank Vegas Born card, previews those games against the Jets, Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers. Extra discussion is saved for Edmonton, as it looks like the Pacific Division will finish with either the Golden Knights or Oilers on top.
Hosts Justin Emerson and Case Keefer also look at the goalie situation and the injuries. The timeshare between Marc-Andre Fleury and Robin Lehner figures to be the biggest story down the stretch of the season. And few things seem to be as pivotal as the health of Mark Stone, who remains week-to-week with a lower body injury.
