JN Flight Plan #69: Vegas Golden Knights @ Winnipeg Jets
Mar 6, 2020, 15:26 ESTUpdated: Mar 6, 2020, 18:29 EST
Vegas has been rolling. Since the All-Star Break, the @Vegas Golden Knights are 11-2-1. In the middle of all that was an eight game winning streak that was broken by the @Los Angeles Kings of all teams this past Sunday. They are first in the Pacific division, but as a testament to how competitive the NHL is, they are only two points up on The @Edmonton Oilers despite having gone on this recent surge.
That’s what the @Winnipeg Jets have staring them in the face tonight as the Jets will try to win and keep pace in the tight Wild Card race.

Last Golden Knights Game
In his second game as a Golden Knight, @Robin Lehner stopped all 27 shots he faced for his first shutout of the season as Vegas had very little trouble dispatching the @New Jersey Devils 3-0
What They’re Saying…
Stone has a few things going for him. Stone has the best takeaway count of anyone in the NHL so far this season, with a staggering 10-steal lead. He had the most takeaways last season as well, and is poised to repeat it. Stone has the best Corsi, shot share, the third-best expected goal share, second best high-danger share and has started the third-most in his own zone of anyone in this group.
Where does Mark Stone stand in the Selke conversation? – Knights On Ice
