Recap: The Golden Knights gave up the first goal to the Capitals but quickly responded.

A small army of Vegas Golden Knights' key players that missed large parts of the second half of the year—forward Mark Stone, forward Max Pacioretty, ...

Such consistency would be nice, but not a requirement for a championship-caliber franchise, and arguably not even practical with how much parity the NHL is designed to foster and how much luck plays into a single season. It’s worth risking more strain for a shot at the Stanley Cup because that’s why everyone plays in the first place, but there could also be long-term benefits if it doesn’t work out this year. The Golden Knights are fighting against time and their bodies to lock up a playoff berth and salvage what’s been the toughest season in team history. The salary cap dissipates in the postseason so that would no longer be a problem if they make it, but it’s hard to imagine them ever getting fully healthy this year given what they’ve been through. And maybe that shouldn’t be such a surprise considering the last two seasons. And most of them have something in common—they’re still not up to 100% health- and conditioning-wise.

Ovechkin is also the oldest player in NHL history to score 50 in a season. “Hopefully, that’s just a momentum boost on how we have to play in that third period going forward and give ourselves the best chance at making the postseason.” “That was a huge momentum swing for us.” “I thought we came out and we played a little bit tighter as a unit. I thought L.T. when he went in, he played great and made a lot of huge saves for our group and helped us get that win.” Logan Thompson stopped 13 shots in the final two periods and didn’t face any in overtime.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin enjoyed the biggest moment of his career inside T-Mobile Arena in 2018, when he skated the Sta...

And he found it a couple of times. “Yeah, it’s pretty cool,” said Ovechkin, who continues his pursuit of Wayne Gretzky for the all-time lead in goals scored and now has 780. Ovechkin might’ve had a hat trick had linemate Evgeny Kuznetsov not interfered with a shot that made it 1-0 early in the game. And as soon as they got behind by one, he started really looking for those openings behind us. “How good is Ovechkin? It’s unbelievable,” said Vegas coach Peter DeBoer. “Two tonight and he could’ve had another two. Ovechkin, 36, continued his ascension up the NHL’s all-time scoring charts.

As the regular season comes to an end and the Vegas Golden Knights on the outside looking in at the playoffs, here are their worst losses.

While there’s no shame in losing to the perennially postseason-bound Pens, the Golden Knights emerged from a dominant first period with a 3-0 lead. On the other hand of the momentum coin, Vegas sports just a 3-2-1 record following the loss, including a subsequent overtime loss in their third Vancouver game in just nine days. While Eichel was a minus-1 with no points in just under 18 minutes in front of a hostile crowd at the KeyBank Center, most of Buffalo’s damage was done by the key players who went the other way, with Alex Tuch and Peyton Krebs each notching a goal. Momentum is everything in hockey, which is at least partially why the Golden Knights’ 5-1 home loss to the Vancouver Canucks looms so large. The Golden Knights looked motivated, jumping out to a 3-1 lead. Here’s a ranking of the Golden Knights’ five toughest losses of the year:

With a week left in the 2022 NHL season, here's a standings and schedule look on what still has to be decided and who could win awards races.

Josi, who won the award in 2020, and Makar will face each other on April 28. The Bruins have the most regulation wins and the Capitals have the fewest regulation-overtime wins, the second tiebreaker. Florida's Jonathan Huberdeau has a shot to win the scoring title and the Presidents' Trophy. Toronto's Auston Matthews, the NHL's goal leader, is out with a minor injury. It's between Nashville's Roman Josi and Colorado's Cale Makar, who have set franchise records for points in a season by a defenseman. The Canadiens (51 points) and Coyotes (50) are slumping again after playing decent hockey. There even has been talk of support for Rangers goalie Igor Shesterkin, who leads the league in goals-saved above expected, according to moneypuck.com, and fits the Hart Trophy's definition of most valuable to his team. Colorado has lost two in a row after a nine-game winning streak ended Monday, allowing the Florida Panthers (11-game streak) to catch the Avalanche in the Presidents' Trophy race. The Los Angeles Kings (92 points) hold the third spot in Pacific and still have a chance to claim second place and home-ice advantage in the first round. In addition to Vegas, the Kings are being pursued by the longshot Vancouver Canucks (87), who are on an eight-game point streak and have five games left. The key game in the wild-card race is Vegas at Dallas on April 26. The Hurricanes will learn the status of injured goalie Frederik Andersen next week and the Rangers have recorded three consecutive shutouts. The wild-card teams have a game in hand.

LAS VEGAS — Shea Theodore scored 2:09 into overtime to lift the Vegas Golden Knights to a 4-3 win over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday night.

The Avalanche remained tied with Florida with 116 points for the Presidents’ Trophy for the league’s best record. Cale Makar and Artturi Lehkonen scored for the Avalanche, and Pavel Francouz finished with 26 saves. Logan Thompson stopped 13 shots in the final two periods and didn’t face any in overtime.
