Daily Nuggets: Congrats Kessel, Trade Rumors Galore, and RIP Twitter?

Sweet noddles, Twitter might be coming to an end. I’m purposely trying to avoid all of these stories coming out about it because I feel as if the less I know, the better.

I don’t use Facebook, have Snapchat reserved for my friends, and I’m not a fan of Instagram. So fingers crossed, the silly little bird app will continue to be a thing. Follow me there @OKrepps85.

Here’s what’s up in the NHL today, with tons of trade rumors ranging from Bo Horvat to Erik Karlsson.

Vegas Golden Knights

T-Mobile: Before playing in his 1,000th straight NHL game, Phil Kessel was honored Thursday night.

The Golden Knights went on to defeat the Arizona Coyotes 4-1 to snap a two-game losing streak.

The VGK will have a quick two-game road trip starting on Saturday in Edmonton and Vancouver on Monday before returning home Wednesday for a game against the Ottawa Senators.

Injury Update: Nicolas Roy, who played half of the third period against the Coyotes, had some lower-body aggravations, according to head coach Bruce Cassidy. He expects him to be fine for next game.

The Golden Knights have been extraordinary health has been a big part of their success this season.
