VGK passes up open shots, falls to third place after 2-1 loss in Dallas

VGK dropped a close 2-1 decision in Dallas last night.  The Golden Knights passed up several shooting opportunities from the slot, especially, in a close game.  Bruce Cassidy said his team gets too cute and tries to make the perfect pass.  Overpassing also hurt the Golden Knights on the power play unit.  Jack Eichel had the only goal of the night, following another scoreless first period.  VGK played better defensively than it has in recent times. Oscar Back and Jamie Benn each scored in the second period for Dallas, once on the power play.  The Golden Knights fell to third place as division-leading Anaheim and Edmonton both won.  Is the seat getting hot for Bruce Cassidy.  The team hasn't responded lately amid finger pointing and lack of accountability, according to Cassidy.  And we talk about the huge hole left by Mark Stone's absence, especially on the power play unit.
