And yes, as far as it sounds (for me I find it very difficult), the "Golden Knights" are out of the playoffs right now. The many absences they have had in recent times and the mediocre games they have played have brought them into this situation. If they do not wake up quickly, they will be left to watch this year. In their last game, however, they sparkled and thundered, as they rightfully prevailed over the Nashville Presidents with 6-1! Maybe something woke them up, maybe it just happened, it remains to prove on their own which of the two (2) is true. However, tonight they will have several absences with the two (2) main goalkeepers absent Brossoit. (T.24ps / 89.46% ap./1k.e.) & Lehner R. (T.38sym / 90.89% ap./1k.e.) as well as Martinez A. (A.11p./3assist), Hague N. (Α.52συμ / 4γκ / 10ασ), McNabb B. (Α.55συμ / 2γκ / 9ασ), Whitecloud Z. (A.44συμ / 6γκ / 9ασ), Pacioretty M. (E.29συμ / 15γκ / 14as), Stone M. (E. 28sq / 8g / 20as), Smith R. (E.56sm / 16g / 22as).

This year they are one of the most indifferent teams in the league. At no point in the league did they make a strong streak and just watch what happens. They achieved a 2nd consecutive victory, with 3-4 (3-3 points) in the away penalties against the Los Angeles Kings, making one (1) surprise. Of course this year they are doing "better" except inside as they have collected thirty (30) of their total fifty seven (57) points! Absent tonight Murphy C. (57ps / 4c / 6as), Johnston T. (E.14pm / 1g / 2as), Khaira J. (E.27pm / 3c).
The absences of the hosts are too many and serious to support them, just because I believe in them. They have the motivation to score, but that alone is not enough to get a game. When almost half the team is absent. If the guests were not so indifferent, I would go to the dry double. Now I will go cautiously to the double (incl. Extra time & penalty).
