LAS VEGAS — Jack Eichel came to Las Vegas in 2021 with lofty expectations that he has mostly fulfilled, including helping lead the Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup championship two seasons ago. Now he has taken his game to an even higher level.

The Vegas Golden Knights have dropped five of their last six games, most recently falling to the host Chicago Blackhawks 5-3 on Saturday.

The Vegas Golden Knights delivered another incomplete performance in a 3-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes Friday night at Lenovo Center. Vegas is now 0-2-0 on this three-game road trip.

With Stone on the ice at even strength, the Golden Knights hold a 55.52 percent expected goal share, which is the highest of any player on the team. He’s also one of the biggest reasons why Vegas’ power play has been as effective as it has. His decision-making and execution along the goal line on that unit have been excellent.

Jake Neighbours and Brayden Schenn scored during a shootout after St. Louis gave up two goals in the final minutes of regulation, and the Blues held on to defeat the Vegas Golden Knights 5-4 on Monday.

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Vegas Golden Knights have lived up to their name as they enter the back half of the regular season. Forty-three games into their 82-game slate, the VGK sit at 29-11-3 and are in a 3-team tie for the NHL lead with 61 standings points.

In the midst of their worst five-game stretch of the season, the Vegas Golden Knights will look for improvement Saturday night when they visit the Chicago Blackhawks in the second game of a back-to-back set.
