They have truly woken from their early season slumber and are now 15-2-1 in their last 18 games, while they are also 8-0-0 against Pacific Division teams this season. The first of many litmus tests come today in the form of the Tampa Bay Lightning who are absolutely rolling right now. Golden Knights go down in Flames in return homeĪnd it starts this month with the Golden Knights facing the daunting task of having to navigate a hellish slate of games in February.Eichel earns hat trick in win over Blue Jackets.Quick passes Vanbiesboruck on wins list against Canucks.Nic Roy scores OT game winner in Edmonton.Perry also had 23 penalties drawn, though a good number of those were matching majors for fighting. Paul drew 17 penalties, while Jennaott had 24 between Nashville and Tampa. Jeanott posted 24 goals during his rookie campaign with Nashville.Įven if the goals don’t always find the net, both are solid at drawing penalties. Paul started out the season hot, scoring 13 goals in Tampa’s first 30 games of the season, and was on pace for a 35-goal season before tailing off the back half of the year. This could also be a sneaky good scoring line if the cards break right. This would give Tampa a bruising third line with Jeanott as the main battering ram and Paul and Perry in clean up. Tanner Jeanott also needs a new deal, but given what Tampa gave up to acquire him at the trade deadline, it is also a guarantee they will ink him to a new deal.Īnd if all three are in Tampa next season, it would make the most sense to pair the group together on the third line. Corey Perry needs a new contract as well, but it actually makes sense to bring him back, as his numbers this year were better than meets the eye. It is with that in mind that Colton might not come back. And honestly, the problem for Colton isn’t whether Tampa can afford him for 2023-24 it is whether Tampa can afford him AND Hagel for 2024-25. If Ross Colton gets resigns, he probably slots into this line.
