It's early, but so far Vegas isn't looking like the same team as last year. Only two wins out of six and the second worst goal differential in the league at -8. Let's hope the Sabres come ready to play and take control of this one early.

Only their second home game, though, and first since their opening game. I imagine they'll come out fast even if the prevailing wisdom is that a team lags in the first game back from a long trip. I'll say 3-2, OTL.

I have a feeling this outcome is going to be the reverse of our first game with Vegas. 4-2 Knights.

If they win here, I'd say they've begun to turn the corner from being trash to being on the low end of mediocre. Make it happen, boys!

Who sits to make room for the miraculous return of Bogo? Nelson or Beaulieu?

Did the team get to Vegas Saturday night after the Coyotes game?
I believe the Coyotes game RJ said there intent was to travel that night. It's only a 45 minute flight, and given the time zone change, you get to McCarran before you take off from Sky Harbor. @Gras can confirm.

Nelson as he plays RD and has been significantly worse than Beaulieu.
Ageed.

To the board: Is it confirmed Bogo will play tonight, or simply that he made the trip? He's probably sitting in the casino now, soda pop in hand, telling Housley he can't go tonight, and to pencil him in for the SJS / LAK games instead.

Scandella needs a good game really badly. I think Dahlin and Jack will both assist on each others goals tonight as well

Because Arizona doesn't observe daylight savings time, right now they are on Pacific time so there is no time change between there and Vegas. After the November time change they will go back to Mountain time.

Based on practice yesterday it looks like Beaulieu - Bogosian. Unless of course it’s Tennyson - Nelson. ;) They’ll probably save that for Halloween.
Quite scary indeed.

My wife's a Phoenician. I knew they didn't switch but always get confused by which half of the year they don't. I am shamed.
