One point. One point is all that separates the Vegas Golden Knights from clinching a second straight NHL playoff run. A win, in any fashion, tonight against the Colorado Avalanche would seal the deal.
The Knights had a chance to clinch in St. Louis Monday but fell to the Blues, 3-1. Last night, all that was needed was a Chicago win over Arizona to ice it...but nope. The Coyotes shutout the Blackhawks 1-0.
Colorado is fighting for its playoff life, presently tied with the Coyotes with 81 points for the last Western Conference wild card spot.
