The Dads are proud. In addition, so are the players and the vibes in the locker room are high. As it is the annual fathers’ road trip with the team, the Vegas Golden Knights returned from the break in top form. They have won their first two games since returning to game action. This is a totally different team and here’s an analysis of the Vegas Golden Knights dominance early on. <\/span><\/p>\n

Vegas Golden Knights Return From Break Strong<\/span><\/h2>\n

Prior to the All-Star break, the Golden Knights lost their final four games. In addition, they were all on the road which is uncharacteristic given how good of a road team they have been all season long. The break came at a price as captain Mark Stone<\/a> went down with a lower-body injury. He would go on to have back surgery and is now out for the season. Frustration had set in and nothing was going right for this team. In addition, the gap they had for the division lead has dwindled down. However, the break did the team justice and Vegas is off to a strong start since returning. <\/span><\/p>\n
