Carter Hart has been that for the Vegas Golden Knights. He may have to be better than good for his team to get past the Colorado Avalanche when the Western Conference Final begins Wednesday at Ball Arena.

The most surprising aspect of John Tortorella and the Golden Knights blowing off their media obligations after advancing to the Western Conference final was the NHL’s response.

Bruce Cassidy was fired by the Vegas Golden Knights with eight games to go in the regular season. Despite that, it appears they’re not granting other teams permission to interview him.

Mark Stone and Jeremy Lauzon were not on the ice for the Vegas Golden Knights at Monday's practice. Still, there's a pathway for them to beat the Avalanche without these key players.
