Vegas Golden Knights Week Ahead: Schedule & Storylines – Snapping the Skid, Marner Milestone and More – The Hockey Writers – Vegas Golden Knights

Here is a look at the key stories surrounding the Vegas Golden Knights and their upcoming schedule for the week of March 23-30, 2026.

Snapping the Skid in Dallas

The biggest immediate story is the Golden Knights’ crucial 3-2 victory over the Dallas Stars Sunday night (March 22). After struggling through a three-game losing streak against the Utah Mammoth, Buffalo Sabres and Nashville Predators, Reilly Smith scored the game-winner with 3:38 remaining in the third period.

Adin Hill held the fort with 13 saves, grabbing a win that was vital for keeping Vegas (32-25-14) secure in the second spot in the Pacific Division.

Mitch Marner’s Milestone

First-year Golden Knight Mitch Marner got his 70th point this season (19G, 51A) in the victory over Dallas. He is only the third player in franchise history to hit 70 points in a debut season with the club.

Injury Updates

Goaltender Carter Hart and forward Jonas Røndbjerg have both recently resumed skating. Getting healthy as the final stretch of the regular season approaches will be a major talking point this week.

Golden Knights Upcoming Schedule

The Golden Knights have a heavy four-game slate over the next seven days. They start with a quick trip up north to face the Winnipeg Jets before returning to Las Vegas for a critical three-game homestand.

With Vegas currently sitting second in the Pacific with 78 points, the home matchup against the Edmonton Oilers will be a massive “four-point” divisional swing. Establishing home-ice dominance at T-Mobile Arena this week is paramount to fending off wild-card challengers and solidifying their playoff positioning.
