The Golden Knights could get the nebulous "new coach boost" now that John Tortorella has taken over as the bench boss in Sin City, but, more accurately, a date with the Canucks can cure what ails them. No team has allowed more goals than Vancouver, and six of their last seven games have seen at least seven goals scored.

The Ducks have allowed more goals than any team in the Western Conference other than the Sharks and Canucks. They're also fourth in scoring among those teams. The Maple Leafs have allowed the second-most goals in the entire league in a real season from Hell, but they can still pick up a few tallies of their own to help us clear the Over here in what should be a real "defense optional" situation.
