NHL Media says the Vegas Golden Knights can win the Pacific Division

The Vegas Golden Knights missed the 2021-22 postseason for the first time since becoming an NHL team in 2017.

The main issue for the Golden Knights last season, of course, was their roster’s constant proneness to injury.

Mike Rupp of NHL Network said on NHL Tonight on Monday that he believes that low point will not extend into next season.

He chose Vegas and the Vancouver Canucks as his two Pacific Division teams that missed the playoffs last season to make it next year.

“I think they’re going to get in,” Rupp said. “I think the only reason they missed is from all the injuries. This was a good group. They struggled last year for a lot of different reasons. They were banged up. If they are healthy, — I don’t even want to say fully healthy because this is an older group; they might miss some time. But they just can’t miss what they had missed last year. They all their big players missed significant time — I think this is a team in that division – – Look out.
