It’s a big night for the Vegas Golden Knights as they look to not only clinch the West Division title, but the President’s Trophy, too.

They’re not the only team that can claim some post-season prowess tonight, as if the Montreal Canadiens gain at least one point against the Edmonton Oilers, they clinch a playoff spot.
