Vegas Golden Knights Achieve Six Game Winning Streak, Longest by a Defending Stanley Cup Champion
Thirteen players contribute to victory against Blackhawks, breaking the record previously held by 1985-86 Oilers and 1920-21 Senators.
- Nicolas Roy, Marc Stone and Paul Cotter scored third-period goals, leading the Vegas Golden Knights to a record breaking 6-game winning streak, the longest by a reigning Stanley Cup champion.
- 13 players from the Golden Knights contributed to their victory against the Chicago Blackhawks, breaking the record previously held by the 1985-86 Edmonton Oilers and 1920-21 Ottawa Senators.
- Chicago Blackhawks, who were lead by Connor Bedard, the top pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, scored an early lead but could not sustain against the superior Vegas Golden Knights.
- The Golden Knights' ongoing success expands their franchise record start and further demonstrates their ability to respond well under pressure, according to Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy.
- Despite the Blackhawks’ efforts, enabled by two power-play chances in the third period, the Golden Knights’ defensive strength came through, with Michael Amadio setting up the winning goal of the game.
