GOLDEN KNIGHTS, RANGERS LOOK TO EXTEND HOME WIN STREAKS
The Golden Knights (15-6-1, 31 points) and Rangers (13-9-2, 28 points) both look to extend their home win streak to nine games on Tuesday – their active eight-game winning streaks on home ice are tied for the longest such run in the NHL this season.

* The Pacific Division-leading Golden Knights can become the first club in NHL history to win nine consecutive home games in its inaugural season. Winners of five straight games overall, Vegas also can establish an NHL record for longest overall win streak by a team in its inaugural season.

* The Rangers – who have been victorious in four consecutive contests overall – aim to win nine straight home games for the first time since Oct. 19 – Nov. 23, 2015 (9-0-0). The only home win streak longer than nine games in franchise history came in 1939-40 when the club won 14 consecutive contests at Madison Square Garden.

* In 2016-17, only three teams won nine or more consecutive games on home ice (WSH: 15-0-0 from Jan. 1 – March 4, 2017; MTL: 10-0-0 from Oct. 18 – Nov. 12, 2016; EDM: 9-0-0 from March 14 – April 9, 2017).
