Daily Nuggets: Kraken a Division Threat, Las Vegas Thunder Return

The Vegas Golden Knights dropped another Saturday night game at home, have teams gaining on them in the Pacific Division, and saw their AHL affiliate pay tribute to a former international hockey league team. That and more on today's Daily Nuggets.

Vegas Golden Knights

Vegas: The Golden Knights dropped an important divisional game Saturday night against the Edmonton Oilers 4-3.

Pacific: The Golden Knights are 0-5-1 in their last six games against Pacific Division opponents. This is a problem for a Golden Knight's team that dropped points last season against Pacific Division opponents and missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Seattle: The Seattle Kraken are a real threat to not only make the playoffs this season, but potentially steal the division crown from the Golden Knights. Last night they became the first team in NHL history to sweep a seven-game road trip. That's 14 points in the standings for those bad at math.

Standings Update: VGK 58, SEA 56, LAK 56 | WPG 57, DAL 57, MIN 52 | CGY 51, EDM 51 | COL 45, STL 45, NSH 44

Sunrise: The jerseys for the 2023 NHL All-Star Game have been leaked. It looks like Logan Thompson will be wearing blue, pink, and white.

Also, the Twitter portion of the All-Star Fan Vote has now closed. The only place where you can vote for Chandler Stephenson is on the NHL's official website.

Henderson: Vegas's first pro hockey team, the Las Vegas Thunder, have returned as the Henderson Silver Knights paid homage to the team in their win.

Clip of the Day: That's a Dang it!
