Daily Nuggets: Coach Logan Thompson, Roope Gets PAID, Blockbuster Trade Reunion

The Vegas Golden Knights are off until the month of December. Currently, on a road trip out East, the VGK snapped their two-game losing streak Monday against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

The Seattle Kraken have won five straight games and sit behind the Golden Knights in the Pacific Division standings by six points.

Elsewhere in the NHL, trade rumors are kicking up on Patrick Kane and Jakob Chychrun, Roope Hintz signed a massive extension, Matthew Tkachuk will return to Calgary, and Drew Doughty laughed a little too early.
