Knights try to shake off blowout as Blues continue homestand

The Vegas Golden Knights will attempt to bounce back from a 6-2 blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning when they face the St. Louis Blues on Thursday. Despite the lopsided defeat, Vegas remains near the top of the NHL standings, led by Mark Stone, who carries a three-game goal streak, and Jack Eichel, who leads the team with 18 points. Adin Hill is projected to start in goal for the Golden Knights.

The Blues opened their five-game homestand on Tuesday with a 2-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets to snap a two-game skid. Defenseman Philip Broberg scored the game-winning power-play goal in the third period, continuing his strong recent form. St. Louis has scored power-play goals in four consecutive contests, and goaltender Joel Hofer is expected to make the start against Vegas after stopping 32 shots on Tuesday.
