We have reached the final day in the Vegas Golden Knight’s current break from game action. With the month of February nearly over the Golden Knights will look to get into a rhythm in March with 16 games in 31 days, nearly a game every other day. Friday night they take on the Arizona Coyotes at 6:30 pm on the road.

Tragically, it could be the last game that members of the Golden Knights could play at Gila River Arena given the Coyotes’ impending move. Keegan Kolesar doesn’t have any real memories at Gila River.

“Yeah, it’s nothing real memorable I guess… no it’s just another game. The only memorable ones I have had was my first game probably. Maybe my first game back in Winnipeg would be fun but *shrugs* they are all games,” said Kolesar.

Summerlin: Practice news from City National Arena includes injury updates on Robin Lehner, Nolan Patrick, Zach Whitecloud, and Alec Martinez.

Vegas: I have been a tad bit bored over the four-game break the Golden Knights are on. I did a deep dive on every NHL Expansion Team’s first-ever player including the Golden Knight’s own Reid Duke.

As the 2022 NHL Trade Deadline nears could the Golden Knights go after any more players or will the salary cap prevent them from doing so?
