LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — With a third straight win, the guys in gold continued their winning streak Tuesday night in a faceoff with the Chicago Blackhawks at T-Mobile Arena.
The Vegas Golden Knights were back at the Fortress to face the Blackhawks in the third game of VGK's regular-season-ending four-game homestand. Having clinched a playoff spot, the Knights sought to win three in a row with the post-season beginning this weekend—and that's exactly what they did.
Vegas is slated to face either the Dallas Stars, Vancouver Canucks, or the Edmonton Oilers in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. A win now puts the Knights closer to a trip to Canada.
The Knights will end the regular season with a match on Thursday night against the Anaheim Ducks.
