The Vegas Golden Knights own a perfect 4-0-0 record at home this season and will look to keep the streak alive against the Ottawa Senators.
The Golden Knights put on a dominant display against the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday, winning 6-1 without Shea Theodore. Tomas Hertl played his best game as a Golden Knight scoring twice and adding two assists. He was active offensively recording five shots on goal but was also engaged physically throwing three hits.
The Senators are off to a 4-2-0 start despite being without their number one goaltender, Linus Ullmark, for the past four games. They've won two in consecutive games, one of which was a dominant 4-0 display over Utah HC.
Theodore was out against the Kings but will be back in the lineup upon recovering from his illness. He and GM Kelly McCrimmon agreed to a seven-year, $7.425M contract extension on Thursday. He's off to another great start quarterbacking the Golden Knights' top power play unit. Kaedan Korczak stepped into the lineup in his absence and did a wonderful job. He picked up an assist and won his minutes at 5-on-5.
Michael Amadio will make his return to Vegas tonight after signing with the Senators in the offseason. Amadio spent three seasons with the Golden Knights scoring 41 goals and 72 points in 193 games. He'll be skating on the Senators' top line with Tim Stützle and Brady Tkachuk.
