One of those games were tonight in a Stanley Cup rematch against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/capitals\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Washington Capitals<\/a>. The Knights dropped the game by a score of 5-2.<\/p>\n<p>This loss will no doubt hurt the Knights top six. Stastny is a crucial piece of the forward core and the Knights prized free agent signing. Stastny was yet to register a point this season in three games but recorded six penalty minutes. He is a veteran of 12 seasons. In those 12 seasons, he has played with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/avalanche\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Colorado Avalanche<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/blues\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">St.Louis Blues<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/jets\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Winnipeg Jets<\/a>.
