However, the Avalanche, by virtue of the more-regulation-wins tiebreaker, can claim the West crown and Presidentsâ Trophy with a victory of any kind â regulation, overtime or shootout â ov

Peyton Krebs’ NHL debut could be on the horizon.
The Golden Knights’ top prospect has joined the club in St. Paul and could be an option when they face the Minnesota Wild at Xcel Energy Center on Monday.
“Anybody that’s with us has both the potential of playing, and also our confidence that they can come in and play,” said Golden Knights coach Pete DeBoer. “Anybody that’s healthy enough is an option to play.”
