Mandatory Credit: John E. Sokolowski-Imagn Images The Golden Knights have picked up wins against the Chicago Blackhawks and the New Jersey Devils, giving themselves a four-point lead over the Edmonton Oilers. Noah Hanifin recorded a goal and an assist on Sunday, and now has a goal and five points in four games since returning from the 4 Nations Face-Off. He's making the absence of Shea Theodore feel a bit lighter. The Maple Leafs enter tonight's contest losers in their most recent game, losing in a shootout to the San Jose Sharks. Prior to that encounter, the Maple Leafs had won five straight games and are 8-1-1 in their last 10 games. The Golden Knights and Maple Leafs met earlier this season, with the Maple Leafs picking up a 3-0 win in Toronto. The Golden Knights pushed hard to tie the game in the second period that night, outshooting the Maple Leafs 16-6, but the Maple Leafs dominated the third period, scoring twice and recording 13 shots. It'll be a repeat goaltender matchup. Adin Hill and Joseph Woll will face off for the second time this season. Puck drop is at 7:00 PM PST at T-Mobile Arena.
