There are a great many storylines for the stretch run. But all eyes will be on the Golden Knights to watch whether the underdog-turned-contender can become the first NHL expansion franchise since 1967-68 to make the playoffs in its inaugural season. A big test arrives Tuesday when Vegas meets the Predators, last year’s Western Conference champion, in a rematch of a convincing 3-0 Knights victory earlier this month.
Below is the full NHL schedule through Jan. 21 (all times Eastern).
