Golden Knights Cap Off Eventful Week With Playoff Spot

The final days of a regular season always tend to get a little crazy. For the Vegas Golden Knights, though, that seems to only be the tip of the iceberg amidst what has been a wild home stretch in their Stanley-Cup-title-defense season. When Vegas acquired star center Tomas Hertl at the trade deadline from the San Jose Sharks, the return of prospect David Edstrom and a 2025 first-round pick seemed a relatively low cost for the 30-year-old two-time 30-goal scorer. As of last Monday, Hertl is healthy and ready to contribute to a deepening Golden Knights center corps.
