NHL: Three real contenders for the Stanley Cup at the end of October
By Jim Lynch
The Vegas Golden Knights
The Avalanche learned how hard it is to repeat, Vegas has shown it does not need to be that hard. The Golden Knights are 9-0-1 looking like the same power house team that won the Stanley Cup last season.
Across the board, this team looks great. Adin Hill has posted a .930 save percentage and looks like the same star goaltender that appeared in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and the Golden Knights continue to impress.
Mark Stone, Jack Eichel, and William Karlsson all have played exceptional in October and it should be interesting to see what Vegas does in the months ahead.
The next few weeks should be interesting for the Golden Knights as they face off against the Colorado Avalanche this upcoming Saturday and then have a matchup with the next team on this list, the Los Angeles Kings on Nov. 8.
