Golden Knights’ Carl Lindbom rises among NHL goaltender prospects

1 week ago | reviewjournal.com | Danny Webster

Rinks in the Swedish Hockey League are significantly wider than American ice surfaces. They’re three feet shorter (197) but 13 feet wider (98) compared to North America. That’s a lot more space for goaltenders to survey what’s happening in front of them. That was the first noticeable difference Carl Lindbom had to face when he came to the U.S. on a full-time basis. Lindbom had played in tournaments on the smaller ice before, but never consistently.

Golden Knights have tough free-agent decisions to make in the offseason

1 week ago | reviewjournal.com | Danny Webster

The offseason wouldn’t be as entertaining if the Golden Knights had answers to all their questions. That long vacation is here earlier than they would like, but it gives them more time to figure out the direction of their roster. They can choose to clean up their business before the new NHL year begins July 1 or head into free agency and address those questions then. Here are three of them:1. Which free agents are likely to return?
Knights report card: Team earns high marks overall despite poor finish

1 week ago | reviewjournal.com | Danny Webster

Clark County wrapped up its school year Friday. What better time than now to grade the Golden Knights’ season? It’s been two weeks since the Knights were eliminated by the Edmonton Oilers in the second round of the NHL playoffs. There’s been plenty to digest in that time. After some reflection, here are the grades the team earned in 2024-25:Team gradesTeam offense: B+The Knights finished with the fifth-most goals in the league (274) in the regular season.
Golden Knights’ Tomas Hertl upset with quiet NHL Stanley Cup playoffs run

1 week ago | reviewjournal.com | Danny Webster

Tomas Hertl became the exact player the Golden Knights needed in the regular season. Someone who could park themselves in front of the net, score goals near the crease and be an almost unstoppable force on the power play. The Knights could have used that guy in the playoffs. But Hertl didn’t contribute at the same level. The 31-year-old center, after scoring 32 goals in the regular season, including a franchise record 14 on the power play, was held to just three in the playoffs.
‘Very disappointing’: Knights captain has tough injury luck once more

1 week ago | reviewjournal.com | Danny Webster

Luck finally started to go Mark Stone’s way. The Golden Knights captain played 66 games last season, his most in his six-plus years with the franchise. His 67 points were also his most-ever with the Knights and he made his usual impact on defense. Then came Game 3 of his team’s second-round playoff series against the Edmonton Oilers. Stone’s arm collided with Oilers right wing Corey Perry’s knee in the first period. Stone, 33, only took two more shifts the rest of the game.
Knights offseason primer: Key free agents, cap space, draft picks

2 weeks ago | reviewjournal.com | Danny Webster

Another Golden Knights offseason where anything can happen and nothing should be ruled out is upon us. Six free agents walked out the door last summer, leaving the Knights with uncertainties across the board. Not bringing back Jonathan Marchessault or others paid off in the regular season, with the Knights winning 50 games and clinching a fourth Pacific Division title. Not so much in the playoffs.
Golden Knights’ William Karlsson looks to move on from frustrating season

2 weeks ago | reviewjournal.com | Danny Webster

The playoffs were a reminder of what a healthy William Karlsson can be for the Golden Knights. Forget that he played the fewest games and had the fewest points of his Knights tenure because of nagging lower-body injuries. That can be pushed aside when he was arguably the Knights’ MVP of the playoffs. Karlsson was tasked with being in charge of the Knights’ toughest matchups in the postseason.
