At Vegas Hockey Now …
After the Golden Knights win over the Colorado Avalanche , they punched their ticket into the 2026 NHL Stanley Cup playoffs.
Mark Stone also scored a baseball style goal against Colorado.
The Golden Knights capped off that road trip going 3-0-1 and another interesting nugget, goalies had a save percentage of .935 through the four games.
Carter Hart this season is now 9-3-3 and has a 2.87 GAA.
How about them Henderson Silver Knights? They clinched a playoff spot not long ago and look to continue climb in the standings in the Pacific Division. They sit in third place with 87 points.

2024 first-round pick Trevor Connelly is up to 13 goals and 46 points in 43 games this season and has a legitimate chance to be with the Vegas Golden Knights next season.
Vegas had the opportunity to clinch the Pacific Division today against the Winnipeg Jets but with the Ducks getting a point against the Canucks , that's no longer possible.
That said, dispute clinching already, tonight is a big game against the Jets. Points are still crucial.
Around the NHL:
Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar left the game against the Golden Knights after taking a puck to the head. He won't travel with Colorado on their upcoming road trip.
In what could've been Alex Ovechkin's and Sidney Crosby's last meeting, the two shared a faceoff before the start of yesterday's game between the Capitals and Penguins. Cool moment.
Another wholesome moment. Anze Kopitar playing his last regular season home game. The Kings are poised to still make a run at it in the playoffs, currently in the second wild card position.
Not NHL related but how about them Denver Pioneers? Head coach David Carle has built a dynasty and there's no looks of slowing down.
