Vegas Golden Knights Aim to Keep Rolling as Hart Faces Lightning Test
Coming off a big 6-2 win over Pittsburgh, the Vegas Golden Knights are set to host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday. With an 8-2 record, the team is riding high, and Carter Hart is expected to be in net, looking to build on his solid performance so far this season. The Knights have seen contributions from across the lineup. In the recent game, Mark Stone had a goal and two assists, while rookie Trevor Connelly added a goal and an assist. Defensemen like Rasmus Andersson, Noah Hanifin, and Shea Theodore also scored, with Brett Howden netting an empty-net goal. Jack Eichel earned two assists in his 700th game, and Mitch Marner chipped in with two helpers as well. Hart, with a 3-2-0 record and a 2.41 goals-against average, stopped 28 shots in the win over Calgary. Adin Hill has also been strong, improving to 4-0 after stopping 22 shots against Pittsburgh. As they face the Lightning, Vegas will need to stay sharp defensively, and Hart’s play could be crucial. With confidence high, the Knights hope to keep the momentum going on home ice.
