After a win in Arizona, the Canes head north to face the Golden Knights.

Martinook got things started 16 seconds in and the Canes rolled to a 5-1 win over the Yotes. Chatfield, Jarvis, Turbo and Bunting had the others and Drury and Necas each had 2 assists. Kochetkov had 30 saves. RBA spread the ice time among the forwards, only Aho and Fast played more than 16 minutes. But the D weren’t as lucky, all but Chatfield and Orlov played at least 20. Martin will go in net tonight for just his 2nd start as a Cane.

The Knights are 2nd in the Pacific with 68 points in 53 games. They’re 7-2-1 in their last 10 but coming off a loss to the Wild on Monday. They’ve had a few injuries up front, the lines at practice had Nic Roy centering their top line. Jack Eichel has been out since mid-January, William Carrier has been out since early January. Jonathan Marchessault leads with 27 goals, Mark Stone has 36 assists and is averaging nearly a point per game. In goal, Adin Hill leads the league in GAA and Save % at 2.00/.933. But his last 2 games weren’t great, he gave up 4 to the Wild on 28 shots and 2 on 22 shots to the Yotes. Vegas is 14th in goals per game and are 7th in goals against. They’re 19th on the PP, 15th on the PK.

Bally Sports South for TV. If any other Caniacs besides Cmaleski are in Vegas, traffic around the arena will be nightmarish. Both 1-15 and Tropicana Ave. are closed and traffic on the Strip has been awful since we got here on Thursday. It took nearly 40 minutes by cab to get to Caesars from New York New York, so leave early.
 
Just looking for a solid compete level tonight from the Canes and a good effort, when you play the night before and have to travel and go up against the Cup Champs in their barn with your fourth string tender you just hope for the best! No expectations from this one and the late start likely means I’ll make it through a period or two!
 
One of the bartenders we talked to last night said he expected a lot of the locals will skip this one tonight due to the traffic nightmares. Our server last night bet the over for the Arizona game so he was happy the Canes made him some money.

Lots of Canes gear around town. Should be a fun night, hopefully the Canes can get a win.

A bunch in New York New York. We walked from the Bellagio to New York New York on Thursday and then another short walk on the strip yesterday. I saw at least 4 or 5 groups of Canes fans and there are a bunch at this hotel too. And the crew that was in Arizona last night is coming up for the game.
 
There were several fan groups planning trips to Vegas this year. Have fun and make some noise.

I was sharing a blackjack table with 4 of them an hour ago. And the dealer was wearing a Vegas jersey. They busted, I survived.
 
RBA confirmed to Hannah Yates that Spencer Martin starts in goal. He beat Vegas last year with Vancouver, allowing 1 goal in 27 shots.
 
GMDW confirmed it to me too about an hour ago in the Canes locker room 🙃 #TotoJourney. It's not a Vegas road trip but I'll take it
 
Just got home from #TotoJourney.. in time to see Svech backhand to tie it! Talked to Johnny Forslund on the way out, he was sitting in our row
 
And for #CanesafterDark fans:

Big two points!!! Watched the first, Martin made some difficult saves to keep it only a goal down after one, went to bed, woke up about 2am and there it was…3-1 good guys! Hope the traveling Huge Caniacs in here enjoyed that!
