Golden Knights Game 45, Stop the Bleeding; Lines, Notes & How to Watch vs. Blackhawks

The Golden Knights (29-13-3) have lost two straight and four of five. They still sit atop the Pacific Division, but a Golden Knights loss tonight allows the Edmonton Oilers to seize control of the division. The Golden Knights will look to avoid losing three straight for the second time this season against the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center tonight.
