Slumping Golden Knights visit revamped Rangers

The Vegas Golden Knights spent most of the first half of the season leading the Pacific Division. Now their slump is creating a logjam at the top of the division.

Tied for first in the Pacific with 61 points, the Golden Knights hope two days of practice can help them avoid a third straight loss Friday night when they visit the New York Rangers.

Vegas is 2-5-1 in its past eight games and 0-1-1 on its six-game road trip.
