I think it's the case of the Knights just riding a very hot home ice advantage. They started the season off on an emotional high with the shootings, and now they're playing the season with the highest confidence since they've been yielding results.

Most of the NHL players have been to NYC and LA over the past few years to play games. Vegas is a circus like atmosphere. It might be the odd novelty of playing there too for opposing teams. Who knows really but one thing I forgot to mention that Hughson said, and this is important, is that you can't discount that they're a good team playing good hockey and being well coached. Its obvious, but its right.
