VGK home ice win streak snapped by Canes

The Carolina Hurricanes dominated the Golden Knights Monday night at the Fortress 5-2 to break VGK's 8-game, season-opening win streak on home ice. VGK trailed 2-0 out of the chute at the end of the first period. The Golden Knights gave up two more goals in the 2nd period. And, that was enough for Bruce Cassidy to pull starting goaltender Adin Hill for newcomer Akira Schmid. Hil gave up 4 goals on 21 shots. But it wasn't his fault, as the VGK defense was pourous in front of him. Following the Golden Knights loss, they hit the road and will play in Anaheim and Utah next. VGK had goals scored by Jack Eichel and a late power play goal by Ivan Barbashev. We update VGK's injury situation. And we discuss whether the Golden Knights have a hard time beating good teams.
