Bruce Cassidy wasted little time to blast his team following a 6-5 OT loss to the Devils at The Rock in New Jersey. Tyler Toffoli of the Devils capped off his hat trick off a turnover by Brett Howden of VGK, who was -5 in plus/minus for the night. Cassidy said the loss was "tough to digest." He said the Golden Knights played "like a beer league game." The VGK defense played, perhaps, it's worse game too. Cassidy said the D-corps wasn't good as a group. One bright spot was Jonathan Marchessault, who tallied two goals in defeat. He has a four game goal streak and has scored five goals over the past four games. Tuesday, the Golden Knights face the rejuvenated Islanders, who recently fired head coach Lane Lambert and replaced him with former NHL star goalie Patrick Roy. VGK won 5-2 in the last meeting at T-Mobile Arena on Jan. 9. The Isles won the first game under Roy in overtime Sunday over Dallas. We also have our locks and predictions on today's show.
