Ben Gotz came to the Review-Journal in May 2016 after graduating from the University of Minnesota. He covers the Lights FC, high school sports and anything else sports-related that comes into town. He also hosts segments in the video studio on soccer and high school sports. Before coming to Las Vegas, he wrote about college hockey, college football and high school sports during stops at the Star Tribune, Pioneer Press and Minnesota Daily back home in Minnesota.
Boston Bruins winger David Pastrnak is an investor with Sense Arena and ex-New Jersey Devils winger Patrik Elias is consulting with the business to make its virtual reality hockey training as good as possible.
Review-Journal reporter Ben Gotz discusses reader comments and questions on Max Pacioretty, NHL roster rules and more.
Since Friday, winger Max Pacioretty has scored two game-winning goals, added a fourth son to his family and slept far less than normal.
The Golden Knights defenseman hadn’t scored in 276 days and entered Sunday as one of only two skaters without a goal this season.
Golden Knights center Paul Stastny set up Max Pacioretty, who was playing in his first game since Dec. 17, for an easy goal in the second period of a 3-2 win Friday at the Anaheim Ducks.
Washington Capitals star winger Alexander Ovechkin made his priorities clear when he told the NHL he will skip the All-Star Game. He wants to get ready for a run at a second straight Stanley Cup.
Golden Knights forward Jonathan Marchessault is one of eight players eligible to be voted onto the NHL’s All-Star Game Pacific Division roster by fans, but he’s not counting on making the team.
Review-Journal reporter Ben Gotz discusses reader comments on Golden Knights owner Bill Foley, backup goaltender Malcolm Subban and the team’s bottom-six forwards.
The Knights have allowed just one goal in each of their last three games, only the second time in franchise history they’ve allowed a goal or less in three straight.
If the Golden Knights need a goal or an assist, Paul Stastny can make it happen. If they need help on special teams, he’s there. And if the team needs to win a key draw, he’s ready to battle in the faceoff circle.
Paul Stastny, Reilly Smith, Cody Eakin, Brandon Pirri and Ryan Carpenter scored in the Knights’ third straight win.
The Knights were 22-15-4 and in third place in the Pacific Divison after Saturday’s 4-1 win against the Los Angeles Kings, which marked the halfway point of their regular season.
Forward Will Carrier’s steady play for the Golden Knights earned him a promotion Saturday. The move paid immediate dividends in a 4-1 victory at the Los Angeles Kings.
As the calendar flips, it’s time to reflect on the stars, scores and standout performances that have marked the first half of the season. And what better way to do that than see where things stand in each major awards race.
