The two pieces of broken stick stayed below the goal line as goaltender Logan Thompson skated to the Golden Knights’ bench.
His frustration had boiled over with 8:26 to play Wednesday night at T-Mobile Arena. It was hard to blame him. Even if his poor stick had to pay the price by getting smashed over his goal post.
After entering the third period tied 1-1 with the New York Rangers, the Knights allowed four goals in a 5:35 span to lose 5-1 in front of an announced crowd of 17,939. The loss was their third straight at home.
