The Golden Knights hosted the San Jose Sharks for final exhibition game of the preseason. Vegas forward Pavel Dorofeyev opened the scoring in the opening five minutes of the contest. Former Silver Knight Jimmy Schuldt found the equalizer three minutes later. The Sharks took a 2-1 advantage but VGK’s Alexander Holtz scored on a nice feed from Tomas Hertl to tie the game.

Dorofeyev picked up his second goal of the game early in the middle frame. It was the only score of the period and gave the Golden Knights a one-goal advantage going into the second intermission.

San Jose quickly evened the score 3-3 on their first shift of the final 20 minutes. Moments later captain Mark Stone regained the lead on a power play opportunity. Dorofeyev added another midway through the period picking up a hat trick in the process. The Sharks kept biting and eventually took a 6-5 lead and held on for the meaningless win.

Vegas finishes the preseason with a 3-3-0 record as they now prepare for the regular season. Opening night against the Avalanche is slated for Wednesday night at 7 PM from The Fortress.

Vegas Golden Knights hockey is back! The 2024-25 season begins October 9th from the Fortress against the Colorado Avalanche. Expectations are high again for the Golden Knights coming into the 2024-25 season. Vegas’ lineup is considered one of the deepest in the Western Conference and are in a position to make their traditional playoff run. Mark Stone returns as captain, assisted by fellow 2023 Stanley Cup champions Jack Eichel and Alex Pietrangelo. The trio along with a mix of new and old teammates will strive for their second championship in three seasons.

Most of last season’s roster returned for the 2024-25 campaign. Original Misfits William Karlsson, Brayden McNabb and Shea Theodore are back for their eighth season. Trade deadline acquisitions Tomas Hertl and Noah Hanifin are now comfortable and settled into their new city. Both will be heavily relied on by coach Bruce Cassidy. Hanifin will likely lead the team every night in ice time and will be called on in most situations. Hertl will be a major focal point to the Golden Knights offense. Routinely in San Jose the star center generated goals on even-strength and on the power play. All signs point to Hertl doing the same with Vegas.

New offensive weapons Alex Holtz and Victor Olofson become more options for Vegas’ skilled centers. Olofson previously played with Eichel in Buffalo from 2019 to 2021. The Swedish forward recorded 35 goals in that time span. Holtz had a career high 28 points last season with New Jersey. The 22-year-old forward registered 16 goal on 122 shots in 2023-24. Look for Holtz to match or exceed last season’s statistics.

Stanley Cup winning goaltender Adin Hill is back for his third season with Vegas. Over the last two seasons, the Golden Knights starter has wowed fans with dozens of game changing and game saving stops. Offseason acquisition Ilya Samsonov will start the season as Hill’s backup. Samsonov started five out of seven games for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2024 playoffs.

Overall, the Golden Knights have the recipe for success in 2024-25. Vegas is strong down the middle with three top line centers like Eichel, Hertl and Karlsson. The foundation of the Golden Knights is their defense and it’s as strong as it’s ever been. Goaltending is solid and the coach has a proven record. This should be another exciting and successful season. Go Knights Go!

The Golden Knights close the book on another entertaining and exciting season. The reigning Stanley Cup champions made their best effort to defend their title but unfortunately came up short in their seven game series with the Dallas Stars.

Vegas was again led by Jack Eichel, William Karlsson, Jonathan Marchessault and Mark Stone to qualify for the franchise’s sixth postseason in seven years.

In total the Golden Knights scored 279 goals this season and 54 on the power play. Eichel scored eleven power play goals and Marchessault recorded eight. What a season for Vegas’ PP.

It was another great year and thankfully we only have 156 days for the 2024-25 season to begin. Go Knights Go!

The Golden Knights and Dallas Stars met up for a rematch of the 2023 Western Conference Finals. Both clubs had early chances but came out empty-handed after the opening 20 minutes.

The offense came alive in the middle frame. First, the Stars snapped the scoreless tie 5:52 into the period. Seven minutes later VGK defenseman Kaedan Korczak evened the score with his first career NHL goal.

Vegas began the final period on a two-man advantage but Dallas was able to kill it off and preserve the 1-1 lock. Minutes later the Stars took the lead off an offensive zone faceoff shot. The Golden Knights heavily pressured the Stars in the final five minutes allowing William Karlsson to tie the game off a deflection. Each team had chances in overtime but the game was decided in a shootout. Shea Theodore and Jonathan Marchessault beat Dallas’ goaltender to remain undefeated.

The Golden Knights record improves to 4-0-0 defeating the Stars 3-2 in overtime. Vegas will fly north to Winnipeg for a game with another team they eliminated in the postseason. Puck drop against the Jets is scheduled for 5 PM.

 The Stanley Cup champions began their quest to defend their title on Tuesday night against the Seattle Kraken. After raising the City of Las Vegas’ first Stanley Cup banner the Golden Knights started up right where they left off. After a few early rushes from Seattle, Vegas’ offense took control. Chandler Stephenson scored the first goal of 2023-24 in acrobatic fashion.

Vegas controlled the puck earlier on in the middle frame which lead to a successful breakaway for Ivan Barbashev. Brayden McNabb found Barbashev up the middle with a successful seam for VGK’s third goal of the game. The Golden Knights successfully killed off two penalties to hold on to their 3-1 edge.

Seattle put on the pressure early in the final period but Adin Hill stood tall in net. The Golden Knights fought off a crucial five minute penalty preserving their two-goal lead. With 1:15 remaining in the game Jack Eichel iced the game with an empty-net goal.

The Golden Knights win their first game of the season 4-1 over the Kraken. Vegas will try and remain undefeated on Thursday night in San Jose. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 PM.

The Golden Knights and Florida Panthers clashed in an exciting showdown at T-Mobile Arena for the Stanley Cup Finals. Vegas capitalized on two first-period power plays, resulting in goals from both teams. Florida struck first with a shorthanded wrap-around goal, courtesy of an impressive effort. However, Jonathan Marchessault answered back on the man-advantage, leveling the score. The first intermission arrived with the game tied at 1-1.

The second period saw Florida pushing the pace, but Adin Hill, made a remarkable sprawling paddle save to maintain the 1-1 deadlock. Shea Theodore later showcased his skills by skillfully maneuvering the blueline and wristing in a go-ahead goal for Vegas. However, the Panthers managed to even the score with a mere 10 seconds remaining in the period, setting the stage for an intene final frame.

The third period commenced with both teams tightening their defensive play, limiting each other’s offensive chances. Seven minutes into the period, Zach Whitecloud pounced on a loose puck and gave the home team a 3-2 advantage. As the clock wound down, Mark Stone intercepted an errant puck flip and rifled it into Florida’s net, extending Vegas’ lead to two goals. Taking full advantage of a double-minor power play, the Golden Knights skillfully ate away the remaining time and sealed the victory with an empty-net goal.

With a final score of 5-2, the Golden Knights seized a 1-0 series lead over the Panthers.

In Game 2, the Golden Knights aimed to secure a two-game series advantage. The early stages of the period saw impressive saves from both goaltenders, maintaining a tight contest. At the seven-minute mark, Vegas drew a penalty, presenting Jonathan Marchessault with an opportunity on the power play, which he capitalized on. Ten minutes later, Alec Martinez flipped a puck into the net, extending Vegas’ lead to 2-0.

Moving into the second frame, the Golden Knights wasted no time further solidifying their advantage, quickly establishing a commanding 3-0 lead. Nic Roy contributed to the offensive onslaught with his second goal of the postseason. Moments later, Brett Howden dazzled with a spectacular weaving highlight reel goal, adding to the Golden Knights’ growing lead.

The third period began with an unfortunate bounce finding its way into the Vegas net, resulting in a quick goal for Florida. However, it didn’t take long for the Golden Knights to respond, as Marchessault tallied his second goal of the night. William Karlsson orchestrated a setup for Michael Amadio, who tapped the puck into the net, further increasing Vegas’ lead to 6-1. The lead was ultimately extended to 7-2 with Howden’s second goal of the night.

With victories in both Games 1 and 2, the Golden Knights held a commanding 2-0 series advantage and were now only two wins away from claiming the Stanley Cup. The action would now shift to South Florida for the next two contests, with Game 3 scheduled for 5 PM on Thursday.
