The Golden Knights have been the story of the year this season in the NHL. But regression is starting to kick in and the Golden Knights carry a heavy fatigue rating here.
Las Vegas is 3-3 in its last six games with two of its wins during this span coming by one goal, including one in overtime.
The Golden Knights just played a physical and emotional game at Pittsburgh on Tuesday with goalie Marc-Andre Fleury facing his old team. The Golden Knights lost that one, 5-4.
San Jose has the defense and goaltending to frustrate Las Vegas. The Sharks also have revenge for a 5-4 road overtime loss to Las Vegas from November.
