VGK broadcast team shares thoughts on each team in Vegas division by Gordon Weigers @GoldenKnights / VegasGoldenKnights.com
Before their season was halted due to COVID-19 protocols, the Vegas Golden Knights were off to a strong start during which the team won five of its first seven games.
Vegas stood first in the Honda West Division before it had three games postponed when members of the team and coaching staff entered the league s virus protocols. Since then, other teams have passed the Golden Knights in the standings, but Vegas will have opportunities to regain that ground in the standings.
As the team prepares to hit the ice Friday against the Los Angeles Kings, it s time to take inventory of the Honda West Division and see where each team stands.
What more does Montreal Canadiens forward Tyler Toffoli have to give after scoring six points (five goals, one assist) in two straight games (1-0-1) against his former team, the Vancouver Canucks, on Wednesday and Thursday? We ll find out in their third game in four days at Rogers Arena on Saturday.

The St. Louis Blues enter this season with a new Captain as the team’s former Captain Defenseman Alex Pietrangelo signed with the Las Vegas Golden Knights in the offseason. As luck would have it though the Blues will now have to see their former Captain multiple times this season as the Blues play in the newly constituted Honda West Division of the NHL.
The Blues new Captain is Ryan O’ Reilley. O’ Reilley was a key cog in the Blues Stanley Cup Run in 2019 and remains one of the best two way centers in the NHL. Joining O’Reilley up front is veteran David Perron as well as Vladimir Tarasenko. Tarasenko has battled injury the past two seasons and a bounce back year from him would really help the Blues fortunes. Jaden Schwartz is also a dangerous offensive player for the Blues as is recently signed Mike Hoffman. The Blues would also like to see young guys upfront like Jordan Kyru and Robert Thomas take the next step.

In an attempt to maximize profits for this upcoming season the NHL announced Tuesday that they had sold naming rights to the newly re-aligned 4 divisions. This season will now feature the Scotia North Division, the Honda West Division, the Discover Central Division, and the MassMutual East Division. The move was made to generate revenue the league will lose due to no fans being in the stands for most games to start the season. The league expects this to be just a one year deal.
The league previously had announced that individual teams could sell an ad space on the teams’ helmets. NHL training camps are currently underway and the season is set to begin on Wednesday January 13
