NEW YORK (KTNV) — The Vegas Golden Knights are on the road again, this time at Madison Square Garden to battle the New York Rangers.

The Knights have seen more losses than wins these past few weeks, with their most recent fall to Columbus on Thursday. Head coach Bruce Cassidy said the team needs to focus on better puck management and clean offensive zone entries.

We may see a new face on the roster Sunday, too. A day after their defeat to Columbus, the Knights signed veteran forward Brandon Saad, a two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Chicago Blackhawks, to a one-year contract for the rest of the season. Saad is leaving the St. Louis Blues after 43 games.

The last time VGK played the Rangers was on home ice, with the Rangers grabbing the victory spot.

Jack Eichel leads the team with 64 points (16 goals, 48 assists) followed by Mark Stone with 46 points (13 goals, 33 assists) and Shea Theodore with 44 points (six goals, 38 assists).

Milestones to watch out for

  • Braydon McNabb is four assists away from 100 assists as a Golden Knight.
  • Shea Theodore is five games away from 500 games as a Golden Knight.
  • Ivan Barbashev is six points away from 100 points as a Golden Knight.
  • Adin Hill is six games away from 100 games as a Golden Knight.
