With training camp and pre-season done, the puck is about to drop on the first game for the brand new Vegas Golden Knights! Coach Luke Richardson was pleased with his team's 4-3-0 preseason, especially with the fact that the team came through unscathed. "We all know wins and losses in the preseason don't matter, but it was nice to come through with a winning record and seeing the guys gel together. We're ready to hit the ice running and prove to everyone that we're not just gonna be another easy W on their schedule" were Richardson's parting words on his weekly radio spot on KXST sports talk radio.
On the eve of their first official game in team history, the team's lines are shaping up as such:
Ondrej Palat - Adam Henrique (C) - Tyler Johnson (A)
Evander Kane - Lars Eller - Jakob Silfverberg
Joseph Blandisi - Markus Granlund - Jon Marchessault
Nic Petan - Jason Dickinson - Austin Watson
Kevin Shattenkirk - T.J. Brodie (A)
Dennis Seidenberg - Jordan Subban
Ian Cole - Julius Honka
Scratches: Alan Quine, Nick Spaling, Nikita Zadorov
Craig Anderson will be starting in goal on opening night, with Antti Raanta backing up. We'll check back with the team in a few weeks to see how their first 20 games shape up!
