Inside The Golden Knights' Four-Game Win Streak

After an up-and-down start to the season, the Vegas Golden Knights have found their groove and head coach Gerard Gallant's recipe for success has proved itself over the course of a four-game win streak.
The streak is the first of its kind this season for the Golden Knights and, when their first season broke record after record, they found a way to make some history this time around. Vegas hopes to keep up the winning ways as the midway point of the NHL season approaches, but the four consecutive victories are worth a second look.
November 21: Golden Knights 3, Coyotes 2 OT
Vegas skated into Gila River Arena in Glendale with their heads held high. After losing 7-2 to the Calgary Flames two nights before, Vegas showed it had a short-term memory. They played a strong first period despite trailing by a goal to the Coyotes and, when they came out for the second period, the Golden Knights were ready to get back into the game.
Tomas Nosek scored less than six minutes into the period to get the Golden Knights on the board. His goal was more than just the tying goal early in a game; it was his first in 14 games and gave a huge boost to the team. Max Pacioretty scored 10 minutes later for his third goal in as many games and Vegas had control of the game. After the Coyotes tied the game in the third, it was Pacioretty who stepped up again and he slipped the game-winning into the cage to lock down the 3-2 victory to start this streak.

November 23: Golden Knights 2, Flames 0
The Golden Knights proved their short memories with the win vs. Arizona, but the loss that they sustained to first-place Calgary only four days earlier was still a storyline heading into the post-Thanksgiving matchup. Just as Pacioretty stepped up against the Coyotes, Marc-Andre Fleury put the game in his own hands against the Flames. He stopped all 29 shots that Calgary sent his way and led the team to a 2-0 victory. Alex Tuch scored first for Vegas and, in the third period, Colin Miller buried his first goal of the season to cinch up the win.
November 24: Golden Knights 6, Sharks 0
After the Golden Knights topped Calgary on Nov. 23, the Sharks earned a victory of their own against Vancouver to take first place in the division. William Karlsson scored the fastest goal in franchise history just 14 seconds into the contest against the Pacific Division leaders. From that point forward, the Golden Knights kept a firm grip on the game's momentum and, when San Jose had chances to get back into it, Fleury was there to make them think otherwise.
Vegas wound up with a 4-0 lead after 20 minutes as Pacioretty scored twice and Miller notched his second goal in as many games. A William Carrier goal in the second period made it 5-0 and Alex Tuch added one last strike for a 6-0 lead. Fleury's second consecutive shutout appeared to be in jeopardy as Joonas Donskoi had a chance to score into an open net but Deryk Engelland dove in front of the shot to keep the Vegas net empty with 28 seconds to play.
November 27: Golden Knights 8, Blackhawks 3
It was easy to think that the Golden Knights would have an easy time against the Blackhawks given their success against them last season (3-0-0). But the new-look Blackhawks were hungry for a victory Tuesday night and, despite the high score, Chicago didn't make anything easy for Vegas. In the opening period, Daniel Carr, Alex Tuch and Cody Eakin scored to give the Golden Knights a 3-0 lead despite being outshot 11-9. After Chicago ended Fleury's 150:25 shutout streak early in the second period, Karlsson zipped home a power-play goal for a 4-1 Vegas lead. When the Blackhawks cut the deficit to 4-2, Ryan Reaves and Shea Theodore stepped up give Vegas a four-goal cushion after 40 minutes.
Theodore and Eakin both scored again in the third period and, after another Chicago goal, the game would end in an 8-3 win for the Golden Knights. The eight-goal outburst marked the highest scoring game in franchise history for the Golden Knights and their fourth-straight win put them above .500 for the first time in 2018-19.
