Watch the Game Highlights from Vegas Golden Knights vs. Ottawa Senators, 10/27/2026

LAS VEGAS—The average NHL career lasts four or five years, with only the elite players enjoying prolonged dominance.

If there were an end-of-year award for Most Improved Starts, the Vegas Golden Knights would win in a landslide. Last year, they scored first in only 34 of the 82 regular-season games; this season, they’ve scored first in five of ten games.

Las Vegas, N.V.– It’s rare for the first 26 seconds to set the tone for the rest of a hockey game. However, that was certainly the case tonight when the Vegas Golden Knights, a strong contender for the Stanley Cup, hosted the Calgary Flames, a strong contender for the first overall pick in the 2027 NHL Entry Draft.

The Calgary Flames dropped to 1-6-0 after a 6-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday night.

The Vegas Golden Knights take on the Calgary Flames tonight at home.

Somehow, Vegas Golden Knights star Jack Eichel hasn't received any sort of individual hardware in his career. Could this hot start to the 2026-27 NHL season lead to something this year?

Tough news for the former SHL forward.
