🏒 Golden Knights Defeat Sabres 3-1, Solidify Top Spot in NHL Standings

Tanner Laczynski scored his first goal of the season, and goaltender Adin Hill made 23 saves as the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the Buffalo Sabres 3-1 on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena. The victory extended Vegas' dominant run, solidifying their position as the NHL’s top team with 57 points.
Golden Knights Continue Dominance
Since November 21, the Golden Knights have been unstoppable, amassing a league-leading 33 points with a 16-3-1 record. Their defense has been particularly formidable, allowing a league-low 2.20 goals per game over the 20-game stretch. Saturday’s win marks the 14th time during this run that Vegas has held opponents to two goals or fewer.
Mark Stone and Jack Eichel also contributed goals for the Golden Knights, with Tanner Pearson tallying two assists.
Sabres Struggle on the Road
The Sabres, who entered the game on a three-game win streak against Vegas, struggled to maintain their edge and ended their four-game road trip with a third consecutive loss. Jason Zucker scored Buffalo’s lone goal, while goaltender James Reimer stopped 30 shots in a valiant effort.
Buffalo had outscored Vegas 15-6 in their previous three meetings but couldn’t match the Golden Knights’ intensity this time.
Key Moments
A pivotal moment came early in the third period when Buffalo appeared poised to seize momentum. Defenseman Rasmus Dahlin drove in on the right side and unleashed a wrist shot, but Hill’s quick glove snared the puck, halting the Sabres’ push and preserving Vegas’ lead.
Mark Stone also reached a career milestone during the game, scoring his 600th NHL point. He became the eighth-fastest active Canadian player to achieve this feat, adding to the significance of the win.
Looking Ahead
Golden Knights: Vegas will continue their road campaign against the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night, seeking to maintain their dominance in the Pacific Division.
Sabres: Buffalo returns home to host the Washington Capitals on Monday night, aiming to regroup and snap their losing streak.
Takeaways
Vegas Defense Shines: The Golden Knights have built their success on a stellar defense and reliable goaltending, allowing just over two goals per game since late November.
Sabres’ Offensive Woes: Despite flashes of energy, Buffalo failed to capitalize on their opportunities, further extending their struggles on the road.
Stone’s Milestone: Mark Stone continues to be a cornerstone for the Golden Knights, reaching a significant career milestone and contributing to the team’s impressive season.

❎ Congress to Certify Trump’s Electoral Victory in Routine Joint Session Monday

Congress is set to meet Monday for the constitutionally mandated joint session to count electoral votes, reaffirming President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election. Unlike the chaos of January 6, 2021, when rioters disrupted the process, this year’s session is expected to proceed smoothly.
Vice President Kamala Harris, fulfilling her constitutional duty as president of the Senate, will oversee the certification of her own loss to Trump. This mirrors the role Mike Pence played in 2021, when he presided over the certification of Joe Biden’s victory despite pressure from then-President Trump to intervene.
Electoral Vote Process Explained
The joint session, held every four years on January 6, involves opening sealed certificates of electoral votes from each state. Representatives from both chambers read the results aloud, tally the votes, and officially declare the winners of the presidency and vice presidency.
This year, Trump secured a decisive electoral victory over Harris, with a count of 312 to 226, eliminating the possibility of any procedural disputes altering the outcome.
Changes Since 2021
The session will occur under stricter rules established by the Electoral Count Reform Act of 2022, which explicitly defines the vice president’s role as ceremonial. This reform was prompted by Trump’s attempts to pressure Pence into overturning the 2020 results, which led to the violent interruption of the certification process.
The updated law raises the threshold for objections to electoral votes, requiring written support from one-fifth of both the House and Senate. This change makes it significantly more difficult for lawmakers to contest state results without substantial bipartisan support.
How the Session Will Proceed
The session begins with Harris opening and presenting the electoral certificates in alphabetical order by state. Bipartisan tellers read the votes aloud, record them, and tally the final results. Harris will then announce Trump as the winner of the presidential election.
Objections to state results, while permitted, are unlikely to reach the higher threshold required under the new law. If an objection does meet the standard, the House and Senate would convene separately to debate and vote on the issue. Both chambers would need to agree for the objection to be upheld.
Historical Context
Harris joins a small group of vice presidents who have presided over the certification of their own defeats. Al Gore performed this duty in 2001 after losing to George W. Bush, and Joe Biden did the same in 2017 when Trump was declared the winner.
Unlike previous contentious sessions, this year’s certification is expected to conclude without significant disruptions. Harris has already conceded the election, and no major challenges are anticipated.
What Comes Next
Once Congress certifies the electoral votes, the process moves to the presidential inauguration on January 20. The certification represents the final step in officially affirming the election results, aside from any unresolved legal challenges.
Trump’s inauguration will mark the start of his second term, with plans to implement sweeping policy initiatives, including mass deportations, increased tariffs, and efforts to end the war in Ukraine.
Key Takeaways
Decisive Victory: Trump’s electoral count of 312 to Harris’ 226 leaves no room for procedural ambiguity.
Enhanced Rules: The 2022 Electoral Count Reform Act clarifies the vice president’s role and raises the threshold for objections.
Historical Parallel: Harris’ role mirrors that of Pence in 2021, presiding over the certification of her own defeat.
