Write about Goalies and the Golden Knights for The Athletic.
Bruce Cassidy wouldn’t confirm Hart is playing tomorrow, he said he’ll announce tomorrow morning whether that is the case.

He said they expect some rust in his game, so they’ll have to be patient and give him the starts he needs to shake that rust off.

I ranked all 32 goalie tandems in the NHL based on their 2025-26 statistics and how they've looked on film.

No. 1 was not an easy choice. There were several deserving tandems.

No. 32 was not as difficult. It was pretty straight forward.

We’re a quarter of the way through the NHL season, so I ranked how every goalie tandem in the league is performing.

1 through 32

“It felt great. He works hard. Great kid. Obviously there was some tough luck, and games we could’ve done more for him. He deserves it and I’m really happy for him.” — Hertl on Lindbom’s win
All the love for Lindbom

Final- Vegas 4, San Jose 3

The Golden Knights end the losing streak. Carl Lindbom made 18 saves for his first NHL victory.

Nice cheer from the crowd at T-Mobile Arena as they show UNLV crushing Reno 42-17 in the Battle for the Fremont Cannon.

The Golden Knights are blocking everything here in the 3rd period.

Playing for their rookie goalie trying to get his first win in seven tries.

Carl Lindbom makes a big save on a dangerous shot from right in the slot.

He's 8:55 away from earning his first NHL win.

It looked like it was offside, but that play by Barbashev to knock that puck out of the air was amazing.
November 30, 2025 at 5:09 AM
William Eklund cuts Vegas' lead to 1 with a nice move on the breakaway.

He cut across to open up Lindbom's five-hole, then tucked it through his pads.

4-3 late in the 2nd

That was an odd play.

The puck was along the walls, and it looked like Kolesar missed a pass and centered it right to Will Smith in front, and he crushed it into the net.

4-2
November 30, 2025 at 4:33 AM
Tomas Hertl tips Marner's shot from the point for his second goal of the night.

4-1 Vegas
November 30, 2025 at 4:26 AM
Mitch Marner catches Nedeljkovic over-committing to the short side, and scores on a wraparound.

3-1 Vegas
November 30, 2025 at 4:15 AM
Pavel Dorofeyev had the puck in the slot, but lost it.

Fortunately for him he lost it straight onto the stick of Tomas Hertl, who buries a shot past Nedeljkovic.

1-1

The Golden Knights were totally dominating the game, then San Jose skates down and takes a 1-0 lead with a shot by Will Smith.

It looked like it was deflected as he was releasing the shot, and it found the top corner past Lindbom's glove.

I’ve never seen this before, but the entire Sharks team has gone bucketless for pregame warm ups.

Mackenzie Blackwood's shutout streak finally comes to an end at 173:31 (nearly three full games).

It is the 3rd longest streak in Avalanche history (behind two by Patrick Roy).

Blackwood saved 84 consecutive shots without allowing a goal during the streak.
November 29, 2025 at 9:38 PM
Jack Eichel emphasized the need for the team to have more of a shooters mentality.

He said this is a very unselfish group with the puck, but sometimes that can work against you, especially when the goals aren’t going in.
