The Silver Knights have faced plenty of adversity to begin their second American Hockey League campaign, but they pushed through it over the weekend.
The Golden Knights’ injured list at forward grew again with news about Max Pacioretty, along with updates on Mark Stone, Nicolas Roy, Brett Howden and William Carrier.
The Silver Knights were without their coach for their AHL season opener Friday night against the Colorado Eagles at Orleans Arena.
The Golden Knights, who were dominated in a 6-2 loss Thursday at the Los Angeles Kings, don’t play again until Wednesday, when they host the St. Louis Blues.
The Golden Knights made some roster moves Wednesday after their initial group featured some players on the roster solely for salary-cap purposes.
The Golden Knights and Seattle Kraken played a tense first game, with momentum swinging back and forth Tuesday night at T-Mobile Arena.
The Golden Knights’ initial roster involved some salary-cap maneuvering and, as a result, one of their forward prospects got an opportunity Tuesday in the season opener.
An anemic offense, especially on the power play, has kept the Golden Knights from reaching the Stanley Cup Final each of the past two seasons.
There’s plenty of excitement surrounding the NHL’s new season, which will include two national TV partners in ESPN and Turner Sports and an All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas.
Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo experienced a unique first season in Las Vegas, but he’s much more comfortable entering his second training camp with the team.
Only 12 teams have reached at least one Stanley Cup Final and two conference finals since the salary cap was introduced in 2005. The Golden Knights are among that group.
The Golden Knights said only clutches and wallets will be allowed into T-Mobile Arena starting with their season opener against the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday.
The Golden Knights had several roster updates Monday, including one player being lost on waivers and another entering COVID-19 protocols.
The Review-Journal’s over/under predictions are back for the Golden Knights’ fifth season, and these were trickier than normal with a return to an 82-game season.
