2026-27 Season

Season Overview

Bubble

Injuries decimate Golden Knights' depth, sinking their playoff hopes.

The Vegas Golden Knights are significantly underperforming their previous season's pace, primarily due to a cascade of injuries to core players. The absence of key contributors like Alex Pietrangelo (0 GP vs 71 last year) and William Karlsson (0 GP vs 53 last year), among others, has severely impacted their depth and defensive structure. This has contributed to a much worse goals-against rate (3.11 GA/gm vs 2.67 last year) and a regression in goaltending from Akira Schmid (.892 SV% this season). While Pavel Dorofeyev has enjoyed a breakout year, it hasn't offset the collective loss.
