Golden Knights Pull Off Feat the NHL Has Not Seen in 30 Years

The Golden Knights have landed in some rare air, and the historical angle alone makes this worth a closer look. Vegas has become the kind of team that can turn routine nights into league-wide trivia questions, which is a very annoying and very effective habit. The real intrigue is how they got here and why this marks something the NHL has not witnessed in more than three decades. That kind of stat usually means the franchise is doing something unusual even by today’s high-variance standards.
