In the current regular season, Vegas immediately decided to seize the leadership in the entire league but to go the distance of 82 games at such a high level; the Knights did not succeed. Even in the late fall, they began to slump but quickly enough interrupted a series of failures, giving another productive stretch. And already in late December, they completely lost momentum when they lost in seven games out of nine, and every time in regulation time. The Black-and-Gold are on a clear schedule where they alternate between losing and winning. They have already played six games on this schedule. Such uneven results allow Bruce Cassidy's team to settle on the fifth line in the Western Conference standings.

Rangers is another team having a very productive regular season, although they have never had that before, as they were always in the fight for the last playoff spots. Now, the New York team has made serious progress, and the main culprit is Peter Laviolette, who has found common ground with his star players, who, even at their advanced age, have become even stronger. They had a bad stretch recently, losing four in a row, but then they beat Washington and Seattle 2:1 and 5:2, respectively, keeping them in second place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Vegas and Rangers are the teams in the group of leaders of their conferences. Both teams are well on their way through the regular season, but recently, they have started to lose too many points. The Knights have a schedule where they alternate between losing and winning. Recall the day before, they beat Nashville, and so now it should be a setback. New York club gradually overcame the crisis, winning the last two games. Moreover, the Blue Shirts left behind two previous face-to-face battles with the Black and Gold - 5:1 and 4:1.

We have already noted that Vegas and Rangers recently began to lose a lot of points, and therefore, we should not expect their face-to-face confrontation to be bright and rich in goals hockey. Now, it's much more important for them to collect points rather than playing fun and attacking actively.
